thanks-Hoi

No clue on that as this is the only one I've played with. Sorry.

I just picked one of these up from Amazon, and I'll be sending you the bill for the corneal damage I just suffered. Holy crap is it bright.

It's a wrench that lets you rotate the crankshaft from above without removing the trays or the fan console.

Ummmm... For pre-S4 cars without the full belly trays, you can just reach up from underneath.

The new-and-improved version of this wrench will just have a square-drive on the bar, so I can put a ratcheting adapter between it and the socket.

Valid point, but I still think the S4 guys get all the cool toys

Not yet in my toolbox but an exo-skeleton would definitely be good for long sessions under the hood 😀
