Triple Squares

I need to purchase a tool called "triple squares" to install a H&R RSB on a 2008 VW GTI. Local Sears and AutoZone didn't have the tool.

Any one know where to buy a set? I searched MSC but they don't sell it.

The SK's cost a fortune. Are any of the other brands reputable?

Ordered the cheap set.

Now it's time to order a full set, from SK.

Mac tools makes a nice socket set of Triple Squares. Leave it to VW to use some wierd fasteners. I did a timing belt and water pump on an 02 Passat with a buddy, and that was a pain in the ass, and required purchase of additional tools. He has an 02 GTI, and everytime he brings it over (I have a much larger garage), I swear I have to buy another tool.
