<font size=3> You can always check at
<a href="http://www.zelenda.com/" eudora="autourl">www.zelenda.com</a>.
Zelenda is the competitor to Baum. Both of these tool companies charge
top $$. <br>
<br>
I have literally hundreds of these tools that I won during an auction of
a dealer going out of business--factory OEM tools--for sale at huge
discounts. In order to see if I have a particular tool for sale
that you may need I need to hear the tool number (you can get that
usually from Bentley) and then I can look it up and tell you what I have.
I only have OEM VW factory tools for sale, nothing else. <br>
<br>
For more general tool needs for the home mechanic I happen to like
<a href="http://www.harborfreight.com/" eudora="autourl">www.harborfreight.com</a>.
Professionals on the list tend to sneer at these Harbor Freight tools, I
have found HF to actually have among the best value for performance ratio
of other possible suppliers. (Some of the HF stuff actually is junk, but
I think it is less than others would have you believe.) Be sure to wait
for the regular sales for these Harbor Freight items which come around
periodically as they float all prices up and down over time. I have a way
of circumventing the wait for these sales. <br>

Some time back an email was sent to the list for a company that
distributed<br>
high quality German tools designed for the auto mechanic.<br>
<br>
It wasn't Baum tools, but another company.<br>
<br>
A search in the archives proved fruitless. Does anyone recall this
company.<br>
I vaguely remember green handled screwdrivers and some other unique
designs<br>
on their web site, but nothing more.<br>
<br>
Thanks a bunch.<br>
