Oil dipstick tool

Anyone know where I can buy this dipstick tool at a price better than what the dealer sells it for ($150)? Crazy to pay $150 for a damn dipstick!

Yet another attempt by MBUSA to scare owners from servicing their car by omitting the dipstick from the engine.

The factory tool is part number 120 589 07 21 00, and can be had for around $125. However, most aftermarket tool vendors also sell a Mercedes engine oil dipstick tool for 113 engine.

Here's a link to ZDMAK's offering, which costs only $55.00:
