Subject:CV joint 12 point cap screws (bolts)

Can anyone tell me a good source for an 8 mm  internal 12 point driver
for the 12 point cap screws (Porsche) for the Vanagon CV's.

My driver stripped its teeth this last go around. Bought the only one I
could find and it was in a set of four. Cost me $16. Product made by the
Lisle Corporation. Said heat treated on the packaging. Guess that meant
it was laid on the stove at lunch time. Metal turned out to be soft.
Gave up the ghost before I was able to complete the torque job at 33
ft-lbs.

Would appreciate any input. need to re-torque the bolts just to be sure.

Thanks,

John Rodgers
88 GL Driver
