Default OT WTB cheesehead triple square sockets???

Resealing the cam tower tonight and got brought to a hault at removing the cheesehead bolt that holds the cam sprocket on. Does anyone know where to buy just one 10mm cheesehead socket? I'd kinda like to pick one up tomorrow but sear.com only shows a set for $60....anyone know of a source for just a 10mm on a saturday...or a cheaper set that won't round the bolt on first try...?

Kragen sells an 6,8,10 and 12mm cheesehead set for $20.00. It was the cheapest I could source.

edit: this correct?

Be careful of cheap ones they can do more damage than good....the try drilling a grade 12.9 bolt.

I got a set of 4 from my SK (super chrome?) dealer. they were $50

Or try Travis at rennbay.com
Just steer clear of the relly cheap ones that use the 13mm sockets to drive them.

I have used this 1-piece solid body set made for impact wrenches for years now. I use them with an impact all the time and have never stripped a bolt yet. I'm not sure if I would do the same with the 2-piece style triple-squares. Highly recommended.
