Default Anyone in the bay area with a 12-point "triple square" 12mm bit?

Ok I give up. Been looking around for a couple of hours, visited 7 hardware stores and called another dozen to no avail.

No one seems to have these damn 12-point "triple square" bits!
Here's a picture of a couple that I found online:

That bottom one is what I need to remove the bottom insulation panel that covers the engine bay..
Does any one in the San Francisco area have one handy?

TIA

Default Hardwares won't have them, but autoparts stores will.

Real autoparts stores, not the big chains.
