Do any local stores sell triple square bits?

[signcrafter]

I was trying to find a set of triple square bits at a local store on their website tonight. I may need a set tomorrow and was hoping to find them locally. But seems like nobody carries these bits! I finally after chatting with customer support on advanceauto found a set but they are a cheap autocraft set and would prefer to find one a little better if possible. But I searched advance, autozone, oreillys, napa, harbor freight, lowes, etc with no luck. I searched triple square and xzn bits. Do no local stores sell these things? Or am I searching wrong? I'd like to be able to just run to the store quick tomorrow if I need to and know which store has what and not have to run all around if I find out I do need them. If worse comes to worse I will just pick up the advance set but I'd like to have a few more options if possible.

I bought mine at NAPA, I know your local V.W. dealer will have them. Ken.

I got some from NAPA a long time ago. They're KD. Ask them for "serrated wrenches." That's what they had them listed under.

Well...we have the Hazet set VW autoshipped us for the shop and all of the VW/Audi techs have personal sets, but it's not like we sell them.

We could special order them, but getting tools from VWoA is not a good way to avoid bankruptcy.

Triple square bits???

Triple square bits???

Kind of like a 12 point torx.

Triple square bits???

I had to look it up too. Triple square bits look to be similar to 12pt bits, but with right angle points.

Triple square bits???

European cars use triple square fasteners like US cars use torx.

reverse 12 pt bit. or just a plain 12 point bit.... Seen sets of them recently at Auto Zone or Advance...

I think the real name is XZN or something?

 

[woodstockva]

They are also referred to as XZN sockets.

I bought a set off of Amazon for $25.....Neiko brand w/blow mold case.

If you need them asap, just pay the $3.99 for overnight shipping.

Chysler used them for one headbolt application.My father still has one for the older Chrysler headbolts that Matco made.

I had tried searching triple square and xzn bits and non of the stores showed anything in stock. Found them at advance under a different name and thanks to someone's post above napa has them also under a different name. I guess all the stores carry them but all call them something different! I just like to search out my options online so I know what each store has before running there. I'd like the gearwrench set from advance if they have them since I have a few other gearwrench bit sets from advance and have been happy with them and get them for a decent price with the codes but I can't find them at advance online.
