Sweet! Let us know what ya get. My Mac Tools one is slick. There is a 4-pin ring on the main socket, then there's an outer sleeve with the 6-pin ring. They don't interfere with each other at all in use.

The guy that was quoted $80 lives in SWEDEN. Things are a bit different in that part of the world.
wow....
80 BUCKS????- -Glad I live in the USA!!...they cost 10 bucks at autozone here..I'd be grinding or filing down a peice of pipe if they cost that much here...its not too hard to invent one--my first one was made in a hurry out of an old tailpipe!.. 
I'd use the socket--it saves greif by avoiding boogerd threads on your spindles from using a punch,and more importantly,you will be able to TIGHTEN the outer nut securely so your wheels cant fall off..
I've used the hammer and punch butcher method before,but I could not tighten the outer nut enough,and it came off a few days later..wasn't a fun ride at 65 mph when the drivers side wheel lost both spindle nuts and the only thing holding the wheel and rotor on was the disc brake caliper! 
...that ride convinced me it was well worth buying a socket..sometimes it pays to use and have the right tools for the job--this is definately one of them!

yep 80 US dollars ..and it wasn't even a Snapon...
the plan is , find a pipe in the right size then weld a plate at the end and then a cheap 1/2 socket so i can use my torquewrench with it...

Been there done that.
Parts & tools for the general are costly here in germany.
My front socket is self made. Now I ordered the lisle combination socket with other stuff at Skyway tools
Parts are $52.- and shipping to germany is $25.- Then there will be tax and customs (about $20-$30).
Other thing is, if I want to buy a used G-wagon, I'll have to rob a bank first.
