I have both. The pliers can be ignored, if you have a good strong magnetic pickup. But oil suction will hold the shim in the bucket.

The job is quick, on a WR with these. Normally I’d do it all in under an hour.

But they aren't for sale!

Edit: fwiw. I bought these through a friendly dealership a long while back.

Alternatively, I did see a number of the more frequently used tools available through a Dutch site.
