Bob,
I could be interested in the wrenches. I have an older Mercedes with several missing wrenches. The Dowitat wrenches for my mercedes will say Mercedes Benz at least on the open end wrenches. Can you PM me with pix?

Dowidat is the former name of the founders of what is now Gedore (Gebrueder Dowidat, Remscheid).

Gedore, Hazet and Stahlwille are the major three quality tool brands made in Germany. So, yeah, they are the good stuff.

Which wrenches are you looking for? I have a full set with the pouch out of an 82 300 SD that I'm gonna keep, but I think I have some extra loose ones out of other cars I've had.
