Default Does anybody have a 12pt 8mm star bit i can borrow to do my fuel filter ...

i've called everywhere, sears, autozone, nobody has metric around here, any suggestions of what i could use instead?

Or could anybody send me one, ill pay for shipping and whatever the cost is ...

I'm just getting sick of trying to get the damn clamp off

Harbor Freight should have it. It's odd that sears doesn't have it.

Default I'm in MA as well, I can take a look for you...

off-topic, what was the name of that place in fall river where you get your car worked on? I'm looking to get my DTS and rear sway on as well as my A8 upgrade for the front brakes along with my 255 x 10 brake upgrade for the rear. Should i tell them you sent me?

Default Also, other tool manufacturers will have it...MAC, SK, Matco...

My 8mm and 10mm triple squares are from Snap-On, my 12mm is from SK, and I also have a 4 to 16mm set of triple squares, but they are very short. I got it on special from an independent tool guy that came around to the job. It was like $25 or so.
