If it's the same triple square tool for heads, I have one for a mk2 head bolt, I'll check the size. Where are you?

It's not unfortunately. The next size up that isn't in any kits that I have seen locally. A proper tools shop should be able to sort you out.

Aren't they like $10 from total tools? We got away with just using an M12 - Naughty I know, but it didn't slip once.

Snap on is $66 for a single bit from snapon, $68 for a set of 3 m14/16/18 from a specialist, or chance using an m12 from total tools.

Gav you're correct. I haven't seen an m14 in a cheap set anywhere. It would appear as though Australia's supply m14 spline bits has been exhausted and no one expects stock until mid jan. oh well, off to buy a set of three!

Yep, it’s money well spent. I'm not very rich and can't afford to buy the cheap tools.
There is nothing worse than when you break the cheap socket in the engine bay or somewhere else and smash some very expensive component, which can cost you 10x more than what you’ve saved.

Keep in mind that you can claim your tools on tax & you make a living from your tools & you use your stuff on a regular basis.

Sometimes you have to spend big, other times you have to buy what will do the job knowing that it might get used once every few years. My tool kit is a mixture of expensive quality (Stahwille, bahco, etc) & some really cheap but sturdy Supercheap Auto type stuff (black 6 point sockets & ratchets) and some mid-range stuff (KC tools). Some of my tools are now 33yrs old & still used regularly, others can go years between outings. It's about fitness for purpose.
