Apparently your local Sears doesn't have a Lisle Tool section :-(

And you'll never find specialty tool items like this at a "fast-food"
variety auto parts store like Autzone, Advance Auto, Napa, etc.....

Call Jim's Custom VW in Columbiana (south of Youngstown).  They've got 'em
(least they did when I stopped by there in 1999 on my "Gypsy Tour" before I
headed home out to the left coast).

Jim's Custom VW
800 621 3503
219 St Rt 7
Columbiana, OH 44408

The 12 point variety is 8mm.  The 6 point variety is 6mm.
