For 5, 6, 8mm and sometimes 10mm I use Baldus Balldriver wrenches. I also
keep 6, 8, 10, and now 12mm allen sockets with each toolkit. I own one of
the star wrenches for OM60x headbolts. I had one 603 intake manifold that
was bolted on so tight it would not budge. I bought a 6"long 6mm socket
from Snappy for that one. The short allen sockets don't fit in all the
manifold bolts. I figured if I broke it, the next was paid for.
I cut off an old tierod and shove the 8mm allen L wrtench in the cut off
end of it for the 603 fan bolt.
The 12 mm is needed for the OM 60x belt idler bolt.
For the diff/trans I use a 14 mm L wrench. A socket would be nice, but I
never bought one.

To drain my differential I purchased large Allen wrench fittings that I
use with my socket set. They do not look like the typical "L" shaped
Allen wrenches. I am thinking that it would be a good idea to get a
complete set of these to work with the car as the "L" type tools seem to
flex so much and I worry about being able to apply a lot of force to
them. As an example I am still intending to swap out my motor mounts but
worry that I will just break the "L" type Allen wrench off.
What do you guys say ?
Thanks in advance,
