Got these from Griot's at the Picnic a couple weeks ago:

Wera Hex-Plus metric allen key set:


Wera Laser-Tip screwdriver set:


The tips of the screwdrivers are laser-etched so they grab the edges of the screws, making them less prone to slip.

You are REALLY gonna like having that tool in your arsenal. Front end work (of the non destructive type) on most all European makes is a cake with one of those.

I love it! Best $50 I've spent to date. It took me about 45 minutes to get the strut housing off which includes jacking the car up and having some stubborn caliper bolts. I spent 3hrs a few weeks back TRYING to remove the control arm from the the strut housing alone which didn't work.

Ebay caliper?

Just got that same one! Not as smooth as our Mitutoyos at work but it's a very accurate tool for the money.

I know a lot of people don't think much of Craftsman tools, but I've always been fond of their old-school, fine-tooth ratchets, which are no longer available. In my experience, they're great to work with and are very durable.

Apparently I'm not alone -- picked these up on eBay after some pretty fierce bidding.
