getting ready for my big winter project, everything is lining up great with one exception, PP says they don't have any ball joint sockets or CV tools. Of course, Sears doesn't have such things. I got a really crappy set of 12 points from schucks a year or so ago. I'm not too excited to risk rounding out my CV bolts with this thing.
Recommended mail order places I can get specialty tools like this? I liked using PP because I knew they'd know a Porsche ball joint tool from a crescent wrench. Not sure about others. For Seattle folks, any other local tool shops? I went to Tool Town in Totem Lake, and the spot was vacant. Kinda sad, it was a cool place with a little bit of everything. |

I found a triple square tool at advance auto, try a FLAPS, they may have it.
