If there is one thing I have learned fiddling with my C5Z, it's that using the RIGHT tool for the job makes all the difference. And if the car manufacturer recommends a specific specialized tool for a job, there is a good reason behind that.




I agree Rich. I will buy different tools from time to time, just because I may need a particular tool, and want to have it on hand when needed...
