Re: Need tools

["Chris DeLong" <green536@hotmail.com>]

It is actually referred to as an 8mm by the Snap-on tool guy. I do agree 
that it is the size of 6mm. However, if you request a 6mm triple square you 
will end up with too small of a tool. For somee reason the fact that it is a 
triple square they (tool companies) seem to think that it should be called 
an 8mm.
