Available through Mercedes and VW parts systems, among other sources.

Removable ratchet heads permit box end, open end, crowfoot attachments. BMW provides a special tool for one of my motorcycles that assumes this removable head system. No calculating extension values.

Removable ratchet heads are reversible, meaning the measuring mechanism works in only one direction, meaning feel free to loosen as well as tighten. Only wrench I use changing wheels, for example.

Mechanism does not require resetting to zero when not in use.

German cars and motorcycles deserve German wrenches imho.
