thanks for all the help and suggestions. really wanted the mb unit and I will have to watch ebay for it. $30 is too much from the dealer. Hope I dont step on any feet here... but I ended up going to pep boys and found a brand name "Ritefit" with a lifetime warranty. it is model a251 (as mentioned in a link earlier in this thread ). It says it is 76mm x 14 flute. i know it should be 74 mm but when you look inside the wrench it tapers inwards and it looks like it tapers down about 2 mm and it really fit well and worked well. it was only 3.99.

thanks again!
