14mm allen socket

I will be changing the rear diff fluid in the near future.

Trying to find a 14mm allen socket appears is harder than expected. Sears doesn't carry them or any regular 14mm allen bars.

Hazet (of Germany) makes them. Ebay is a possible source.

Is there a local domestic (USA) source for these?

Where has everyone else gotten theirs?

I got mine 14mm allen wrench from here http://www.wihatools.com/.

I ended up buying two. I cut one in to a few pieces so I could put a piece into a socket. I called everyone in town to find one, and nobody had one. So I had to oder online.

I think SnapOn sell a 14mm hex bit socket, but it is like $20. I bought 2 14mm allen wrenches from the link above for like $10.

I got one at ACE Hardware, though only some ACE's have a good selection of mechanic's tools. Also a bit pricier than other sources.
