    They should be available through various sources like Amazon or EBay but be prepared to pay top dollar and wait on foreign shipping.

    Pete with that thing pushed into one of those universal scree drivers can you get through the access hole or do you have to have all covers off?

    I saw the single D tool on ebay for a decent price when I went to buy mine then they were gone a few weeks later forcing me to pay double!! The husky tools bring almost $40 now!!! Last one I bought a few weeks ago was $8!

    Funny thing is the dealer near me sells the husky tool for $10. SHH don't tell lol. I made a quick $60 profit a few months back on 3 of them. They went within 2 hours buy it now… Its not illegal but it is against company policy supposedly. The dealer said if they drop me for selling that they lose a big business so I sell them off the shelf.:whistle:

    Who looses the business if they drop you? I debated selling them. I bet I could buy a case of them if I wanted too...but?? I have debated it.
