Which star tool for a W221?
Hi;
I'm a DIYer and looking into what special tools I'll need on hand as I start out with my recently acquired 2009 S550 w221. I see there are various versions, models, etc. What really works for 99% of the stuff you'd tackle out of a home shop? Obviously I'm not going to be pulling transmissions but I'd be fine replacing a faulty coil, ancillaries etc....
Thanks
Dave
