Not since the 1980s or so...older than 2000 there are many very good german cars...
Did you know that you have to use metric wrenches...
Not since the 1980s or so...
I haven't kept any Imperial/SAE wrenches in my toolbox for work since I left Firestone in 2013, or sockets for that matter. Everything is metric on even the American cars now. Hell, BMW rarely uses metric hex, everything's torx, e-torx, triple-square, allen, or some proprietary bullthat needs a special tool from the tool room.
That's my wrench drawer at the BMW dealership:
This is why this is such an "exclusive" "premium" car... otherwise it would be cheap to buy and cheap to repair. There must be a difference to cheaper cars.metric hex, everything's torx, e-torx, triple-square, allen, or some proprietary bullthat needs a special tool from the tool room
Lexus is just as premium as BMW, just as expensive as BMW, and is honestly no more difficult to work on, and requires no more in the way of tooling than a ho-hum Toyota Corolla. Your argument is invalid.This is why this is such an "exclusive" "premium" car... otherwise it would be cheap to buy and cheap to repair. There must be a difference to cheaper cars.
But you did switch your crescents for metric crescents, right?
But very good tools from germanyBut those aren't crescent wrenches....
They're the metric kind, that's why you don't recognize them. They even have metric size markings on them.But those aren't crescent wrenches....
This forum has been posting dead for weeks I'm glad to see spirited discussion on anything.wonder what the hell happened.

False, Knipex Cobra pliers, as posted by @extra_stout are metric chanellocks.Those are the metric equivalent of an imperial Channellock, just saying.
Your crescent style wrenches also have measurement markings on them, but I can't read them in your pic. I think they're metric......
why? Are the worn or damaged?but lines can/will still be problematic
Can we agree that at a time in history some american cars where better then some german cars and vice versa, but french cars where alwaysThe metric system is superior, I'll never argue that, I'll just laugh and point out our **** up 'murican/English system went to the moon and that adopting the metric system earlier didn't help Germany build better cars, just better tools.
