      Euro car parts has taken over GSF, so now the price of parts have gone way up. Its because a bit of a conglomerate, you end up paying what they want. I've started using Ebay and Parts in motion more now. Or Halfords if you can get a trade card.

    Although I don’t think Atego has it Be careful changing the slave Cylinder, as the newer Mercs have an O ring where it fits against the gearbox casing that if missed causes it to loose air so you need to pull the box out again.

    17mm/19mm is DIN (Deutsche Institut Normung), 16mm/18mm is JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) (I think). Threads same, just different heads. Odd as Merc is German, so I thought it’d be DIN.
    I’ve gone back to air tools, more reliable in my opinion, no batteries to break, can get them wet, more power, more tools to chose from, can repair/rebuild them, just need a decent hose and QR couplings.
    Struggle on Chris!
    Edit 16/18 mm is ISO, which supersedes DIN.
