Supplementary tool kit dual ring spanner
« on: October 28, 2016, 14:41:56 »
As you may know, in addition to the tool kit in a Vinyl pouch that was supplied with the Pagoda car when new, there was a Supplementary kit that could be bought separately (from the Dealer).
In that supplementary kit (see pic attached, from M-B tech literature) there were four "straight" dual ring spanners included, size 6 to 14mm.  A picture of the type of spanner is attached (however this one is not from a supplementary kit afaik).
Now, question: Would anyone perhaps know if these dual spanners where marked with"Mercedes-Benz"; like the ones in the in-car kit? Any additional info is appreciated.

Hans,

I have a couple of these kits, one that is unused. The dual ring (box end US terminology) are not marked as MB. The ones in my kits are Walther. A friend of mine in the area (original owner - 250 SL) has the supplementary kit and the wrenches in his kit are also generic, but I do not recall the brand.

FYI - I have a copy of the original dealer price, in the day - US $13.81!

Ok, good to know. I can then buy generic ones at car meets locally here (Heyco, Dowidat etc.)  What were the sizes?
I would think:
  • 6-7mm
  • 8-10mm
  • 11-12mm
  • 13-14mm

Please adjust the figures (sizes) as appropriate

The ones in my kit are:

6-7 mm
8-10 mm
9-11 mm
12-14 mm

And the big offset box end as Walt has indicated.

And the tools are "Walter" not "Walther"
