Here's an interesting problem. I just received a reproduction tool bag and was installing my tools and discovered the spark plug wrench looks to be 1-1/2" too long. The part number is 0005810587 which looks to be the correct one for a 1970 280SL. Can somebody verify part number and length for a late 250/280SL?

Since I bought my tool kit from another Pagoda owner, I cannot verify that what I have is accurate or correct.
But..my sparkplug wrench is a Hazet 767, Mercedes-Benz 0005810667. Overall length is 8.125" Fits quite nicely in the pouch.
I have seen other Hazets that look different. Mind does NOT have any spring on it, and is designed to take rod in the other end to make a "T" wrench. I've seen others with a socket fitting.

Indeed if you go by what is written in the 250SL/280SL Spare Parts List (Edition C, Jan 1972) then the spark plug wrench should be p/n 0005810587 but as you found out - and I did last week - this wrench at almost 12" is clearly too long for the correct tool bag with snaps. See photo.
I asked John "49er" and his original bag has the shorter length wrench with p/n 0005810687, just like Michael's. Also consulted with Dave Gallon and the original wrench in his 280SL bag is also the shorter 0005810687, and I am now waiting for John L. to tell me when he is home again what the p/n is in his 250SL.
But at this point Dave G and I believe that the entry in the parts list is incorrect, that is, that many 280SL bags were delivered with the shorter 0005810687 wrench. This wrench does have a flexible joint, without a spring around, and a rod for insertion as Michael writes, but fits perfectly.
Anyone out there need a long spark plug wrench? ;D

Make that 2 long spark plug wrenches. Thanks for the replies.
I have a feeling the 1972 parts listing reflected that the correct length wrench was NLA and the 0005810587 was the replacement. It would be interesting to see if anyone had the 0005810587 in their kit from the factory.

I find this topic way too personal.

Just to verify, the part number for my wrench is the same a Michael's 000 581 06 67 ;)

Mike, my thoughts exactly. ;D

Does it have the handle bar? What part number and/or brand number is it?

Mine does not look anything like yours fellow ??? I've not used it, however, will this winter.
It is engraved Mercedes-Benz 0005810667 having a 20,8 mm / 13/16 socket.
Anyone of you have a similar one? Mine is part of my Benz Tool Kit.
EDIT ... I stand corrected, mine looks like John's :) I'm happy now! looks like I will not cut my fingers when changing plugs this winter :)
