Score! now I can stop borrowing...

Canadian Tire and The Source also sell a set of 4 for not much more... around $10 - 12. Set is made by powerfist and you need to use a 13mm socket with them to make it work.

Just don't expect Snap-On type durability from these... (Actually, I call these low-end tools from Princess and Harbor Freight "Snap-Off)...

I managed to have one of these cheapos (Lisle brand from Princess) self destruct the last time I was removing CV joints... had to go back to my 30 year old Snap-On...

yessir....couldn't agree more. These things are poop.

I remember reading somewhere that lisle and snap-on were the same product for a lot of specialty type tools

Mind posting a part number? I went in there and no one had a clue.

I would not even waste my $8. I used one of those on a Vanagon driveshaft years ago....I was stuck repairing a CV joint at the side of the road. When I was torquing the last bolt it sheared off flush in the bolt. No way to get it out, and the van joints are heavily recessed into the control arm where you can't get channel lock or vise grips on. It is still stuck in there today I'm sure....

There will always be the debate when it comes to cheaper tools. If you do use them regularly or professionally than you should be using nothing but the highest quality tools. But if you are like me and just want to repair my door switch. Eight dollar tools will do just fine.

(The correct) Part number on the receipt: 8306813

Opps! It's a fine square BTW.

Just got back from picking up the trippel square set from Part Source ($11) and they have the tripple square sockets (Jet brand) at $6 each too. I needed these to change the clutch on a 1.8T.
