What are some good high quality German made hand tools for automotive repair?

Question by : What are some good high quality German made hand tools for automotive repair?
I’m familiar with some of the brand names, but wondered if anyone had any experience with them. Such as, how do the stack up against American brands like Snap-on, Proto, and Craftsman. I own many of the expensive American brands (except Proto, don’t know what they are like) and I’m curious if the Germans manufacture hand tools like everything else…meticulous attention to extreme quality and engineered second to NONE.

Just a guess but try your local Snap-on or Mac tools dealer. You should be able to find them in the phone book. They may or may not have them.

Shoot, I can probably make the first one from scrap parts.
