Default WTB: Quality 8 &12 mm Cheesehead tools

So I need to take out the cams and tensioner, and before I buy them from Sears, does anyone know of a good online source for high quality 8 and 12 cheesehead tools. I know there was a post about this once but I could not find it...

+1.

I've rounded out more than one cheesehead bolt with cheaper sockets from Kragen and Sears. Haven't had a single problem since I went with the Snap-On versions.

I had the concern with the cheaper tools from Kragen/Autozone when i picked up my first set 2 years ago for $8. 2 years later and many many uses and not a single stripped bolt. I find that making sure the heads of the bolts are clean and tool well seated makes for easy removal. If and when they do start to F things up I'll get the Snap-on set. I know you can never go wrong with Snap-on's tools.
