Heyco 300 Combination Pliers

looking for correct pliers with MB star for my 69 280SL.

Diligence and patience are you friends. The pliers with the star are hard to find. Good to ask here, you might get lucky.

You can also set up some standard searches on eBay. Be sure to look for the chromed style not the black ones.

Beware of those with 129.

Thanks guys!  I feel good about it, but for my impulsive tendencies fueled by impatience.  So close to finishing the car. Not having a v-jaw with the star doesn't mean the car doesnt run.  I'll find one.  If you spy one out, please plug me in.  Dotting the "i's" is more expensive every day I wait.

Does anyone have an image of what ‘original’ pliers look like? 😁

Here is another thread showing the early style diamond jaw pliers

As usual, the description is controversial. the oval pliers for sale (link to it says later) are offered as "early". Would really like to see someone who has an original tool kit for a late 280SL
