They are introducing more "Professional Grade" tools at a slight premium.These are useful because access is so tight on the P-Cars that you need under-sized tools -1/4" ,not 3/8 drive. So I just got a lot of 1/4" impact tools and use those.Their hex-drive(Allen) tools are particularly useful.
I just pulled the entire trans with only a 1/2" drive snap on and basic extensions and sockets. Great access compared to a ford truck. No bolts frozen in place. A pleasure to work on. I used one small wobble socket on the WP.
