I bought a 12, 14, & 17mm set on E-bay. I've used the 12 & 14 so far and they have worked just fine.

It has been a few years since I bought mine, but it came in a set of three sizes (10, 12 and 14 mm) sockets (with hex bit) from Autozone.

14mm bolt
Thats the the info i was looking for. I don't have money and buying one from SnapOn sounds way to expensive.

Where in Nor Cal are you? I bought mine at Harbor Freight in Santa Rosa and never had a problem with it. Some people don't like the place but the prices are good.

I'm in Calaveras County. There is a Harbor freight in Stockton, what did yours cost?

I did better than that. Go to the hardware store and get a 3/8" coupling nut. It is a 1 1/2" or so long nut for putting two pieces of threaded rod together. The wrench it takes is 9/16" which is 14.3mm. Put one end in the hex socket bolt and a 9/16" or m14 wrench or socket on the other end and presto. Used it for my differential drain and fill plugs. Cost less than a buck, and you don't have alignment issues like you can have with the setup above.

Autozone used to carry a set of 1/2" drive hex bits. 12, 14 and 17 mm. All for the princely sum of $8.50. The ones I bought from them were called "OEM" brand, and while not Snap-On quality, are surprisingly nice. This was a coupla' years ago. FWIW
