I have a whole kit I bought from the independent tool guy that came around where I used to work, I didn't pay any more than $40 for it iirc. Encompasses all sizes in between 4-16mm (4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16)

More like, destroyed cheapazz tool removing the triple square bolts the first time...
looked like somebody overdid it with the locktite last time.
The splines on the end of the tool look like crap and I am afraid of not being able to get enough torque on it to tighten everything down.
BTW, I had to glue the damn tool into on of my 1/2 sockets to use it.

Problem is good tools are $$ and they are tools usually one might use once...
in a blue moon. I could see forking out the money if I would use the 3squares freqently, but they are a limited use tool IMO. I would rather borrow if possible.
