Just about all of the major tool manufacturers make 12pt sockets.

You may want to consider getting one in 1/4" drive too in case the fit is tight near some of the pipes. This is why I like the 5/16" allen head header bolts.

I have the 12pt ARPs and wish that I had bought the allen head header bolts. To tighten the header bolts I needed two 1/4 drive 12pt sockets (one deep and a thinwall shallow) and assortment of extensions and a box wrench for the couple of the bolts a socket wouldn't fit.

Sorry, not intend to highjack this thread but what are the best fasteners to Hooker 2149 as there are so little space to some bolts?
Maybe studs?
