Get these. Lifetime warranty and they are great quality.

Do a google search for "SK19704" to get better prices.

Head to Sears, they have them in a kit (ironically, I JUST talked at another lister about these today). They will get you by for a few bucks. If you are going to be in and out of the mechanicals spend 10X more and get the Snap Ons, they are far better quality.

Strange, which Sears did you go to? Jennifer has to work some part of tomorrow, I will hit the one by my place. They had them when I was there about a week ago (at least I think it was a week ago, I know we have been traveling like mad, hard to keep track of the time )

I'll give you a call tomorrow, mid morning. I'm running the Naperville 5k in the morning, then I'll be working on the racecar the rest of the day if you want to come up.

Try These if Sears comes up empty. They are nice quality at a reasonable price. In fact ZDMac has a good selection of Porsche special tools as well - everything from engine yokes to 944 belt tools and more.

No association, just a customer who likes their stuff.

Thanks for the help. I will order the lifetime ones if the one we just made doesn't work. Having a Lathe and a mill is awesome. I will harden it tomorrow and give it a try.

Just don't buy the lisle tool. It stripped on me and I have heard of it stripping on others.

I second that...don't buy Lisle, I stripped mine too. I got the ZDMak ones now, in a set with another set of allen head sockets for about $55. I think they sell them on ebay too, and I haven't broken them yet.

The ZDMak's are great [link in my post above]. Good quality, decent price, ans I haven't managed to break 'em yet either. Geve 'em hell but they held up well.
