I noticed in another thread, someone was interested in the BMW wiper-bending tool. I have it, but I have never used it. Here are pictures.
Note that the black parts are steel with an oxide layer - not plastic.

Are these ‘For Sale’?

Not for sale, but possibly still available new from BMW. I bought this a few years ago.
What do these do?
They're for bending wiper arms to get the right contact angle. If you have a wiper judder that isn't fixed by new blades, this is the possible cause. Here are the instructions:

I think the wiper angle is supposed to be around 88 deg.
Do you have the measurement tool?
Can you describe the process of ridding wiper chatter? i.e., How to correct chatter on sweep. How to correct chatter on return?

I just found an old thread of mine that shows my low-budget version of the angle tool: https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/s...-nozzles-etc-)

I did the same adjustment to my e34 wipers with two adjustable wrenches. Save your money.
shattering of wipers and how to fix that I explained here back in 2006 I already posted that. chattering windshield wipers? How to fix, no special tool needed, you can make a tool out of a cheap school protractor. Cut it down at the 87 degree mark for an E32 and/or 84 degree for an E34 mark with a stanley knife, run it along a file to make sure the edge is clean and flat, then check the angle is correct against another protractor (or the other half that's been cut off). http://www.bimmerboard.com/forums/posts/292534/

A pair of adjustable wrenches will do the job just as well. Wrap the jaws with tape if a potentially scratched wiper arm upsets you.
