I'm looking for a 7 mm Triple Square (12-point, NOT hex or Torx) bit to take a set of JDM wheels apart.
Tool manufacturers like Lisle, VIM, KD etc offer triple square bits/sets for working on German cars but the 7mm size is not available. I'm waiting for Wera and Koken Tools to respond to my emails .

So, anybody that has a 7mm triple square bit they'd be willing to part with or knows where to get that size PLEASE speak up.

So you're looking for just a 7mm 12point socket?

No. I'm looking for a 12-point BIT (not socket) in 7mm size.
To fit these...

If you try to use a regular hex BIT, because of the required torque, you risk damaging the points on the relatively shallow splines.

Your are looking for whats called a TORX bit. Only capitalized for help not yelling. going to be very hard to find, even Google is bring up nothing. Not many places carry 12 bit in that large a size. Most 12 point are even numbers, 6, 8, 10 is about all I can find so far from looking


Wow that is a hard piece to hunt down. I dont even need the piece and its killing me that I cant find one anywhere. lol

incorrect what you are looking for is a TRIPLE POINT SPLINE bit not TORX. but like ^^ says most kits have 4mm 5mm 6mm 8mm 10mm. Your going to have a hard time finding a 7mm. if i find one ill send u a link

Are you 100% sure its a 7mm

Thank you, pioneer1976.
Yes, these are triple square (aka XZN) bits and, yes, I really need the elusive 7 mm size.

Edit: My google-fu just struck paydirt - - using "M7 XZN" reference is the ticket. But it looks like I'm gonna have to import from Germany...
