  • oz futura wheel bolt tool?

    does anyone have or know of a place where I can purchase these tools...
    10 point 10mm socket and a 10 point 9mm socket (I believe)
    can't find them anywhere and the local wheel shop will take them apart and re-assemble them for me for 350$....too much money there when I can just do it myself...
    any help much appreciated...
    cheers

          yup, tried the snap on guys and the other tool venders around here, no luck.
          a guy on vortex has one for rent but he's not responding, and I tried to get one from that website, but nada...hopefully something works out or I'm gonna just have to pay the shop to take them apart for me...90$a wheel..

              Yeah, i had some split rim wheels on my old mk2 golf. I used a halfords pro 1/2" 9mm conventional socket (the ones with 10star), it seemed to fit ok.

                thanks for the help guys.
                I searched uk ebay and found a lot of spanners in my sizes, but I don't know about the 10 point or 12 point...
                I hit up a few people asking them about their wrenches..
                i'd think that since 10 point is so rare they would list it, or at least its rare here..
                we have 12 point spanners from snapon and what not, just not the 10......

                          I ended up renting them from a guy here in the states for 50.00$.....
                          I'm sure you could use them too if you had a need..
                          150.00 and when you send them back he refunds you 100.00$
                          couldn't find a manufacturer so that was the best I could do..........
