Where to find triple square in the area?
This seems ridiculous to me, but I can't for the life of me find a triple square socket set in the area. I want to do something Sunday that requires one. Sears doesn't have, nor does any other hardware store I checked. Any ideas?

NAPA. Ask for the VW tools. The NAPA near me is closed Sunday, but you could also try Economy or any of those non-Advance type places.

Village Hardware south of Alex and Harbor Freight has them. Pretty sure I've seen them on Lowe's and Home Depot too.

I've got a set you can borrow (also Chinese). I'll be driving north on I-270 tomorrow passing Germantown at around 6:00 AM, and back south at around 3:00 PM if you want me to throw it in the car.

I have a set in NW DC. I don't know where you 'area' is but let me know if I can help. The set includes:
XZN Sockets 1/4": 4mm, 5mm, 6mm XZN Sockets 3/8": 8mm, 9mm, 10mm, 12mm XZN Tamperproof Sockets 3/8": 14mm XZN Tamperproof Sockets 1/2": 16mm, 18mm And to be clear they are long male sockets for center XZN bolts.

x2 for Napa -- they usually have XZN (triple square) in stock for M10 and M12 sizes.
Let me guess - removing 993 alternator?
