On December 31, 2011 I was able to buy this tool and several others from SPX/Rotunda which I think might be a part of OTC. I'd have to look in my notes what I paid but at the time it was reasonable, especially considering the tools are very hard to come by. These were new stock, not necessarily NOS; very high quality. I got the tip from Robert Ludwick on the older D24 ML; from Robert:
"The number I have for Rotunda is one where, when I've called it, they have assumed right off that I was a legit shop and were ready to sell to me, no questions asked. It's the direct Volvo tools inside line within Rotunda, which I believe is used by Kent-Moore. OK, here's the one I have: 1-800-345-3399."
Actually, no kidding, in searching for this info I found my own post from the D24 ML in 2009; from me:
"I was successful in ordering the V9995199 ($39) and V9995201 ($58) tools from the number George posted (1-800-345-3399). They are the Ford-Lincoln-Mercury-Volvo tools retail division of SPX. They did not require me to be part of a service shop, only that I pay with a credit card if I did not already have a customer account."
Again I'd need to check what I paid for 9995187 but all prices seemed reasonable.
