MB maintenance special tool list?
Excuse my ignorance if this is already posted somewhere, but is there a list of unique or special tools and test equipment (ST&E) for Mercedes Benz (GLK) maintenance? I have done some searches here and found various threads on specific tasks, but no list that might help someone trying to build a toolbox to support their car. I am not talking about generic hand tools found in your average tool box, but the MB unique items like Female Torx (E-Torx), oil filter wrench or even the service reset tool/scanner. I found a posting on another site that provided the examples I provided.
Perhaps there is already a sticky I have overlooked.
i have found these on Amazon and will continue to add. The initial investment can seem daunting but worth while if I continue to perform most basic maintenance.
thanks

Has it been confirmed that the engine mount tool works on these GLKs? I know there was that guy selling customized versions of the tool (has a youtube video), but I haven't seen anything on the board commenting on the standard tool working.
