Check your FLAPS for KD Tool 2304.  I've been using this tool for over 20
years, never had a problem stripping it.  Stripping the 12 points on the
bolt a few times, but not the tool.  Price is around $4 to $6 depending on
the FLAPS.

Lisle's been around for a LONG time and have produced some excellent
quality tools that I still use on my VWs.  Perhaps they have moved
production to a poorer quality manufacturing source for their tools, not
unheard of in this day of "globalization".
