I returned the O'Reilly's L-shared TORX set ($9.99) and purchase a Duralast
3/8 T-60 bit at AutoZone for $4.99. It doesn't have a set screw like the
Craftsman ($11.69) but I drove the bit out with a hammer and punch. I
can put a 12mm box end wrench on it. I could have purchased an entire set
Some of the craftsman sockets are a two-piece design and have the bit held in
with a small Allen screw.
I did that job many moons ago on a '91 XJ that I used to own...
I ended up using oil filters off of 5L fords, as they fit and had more filter
area... (AC 1a's maybe?)
I think I ended up
Thanks for the idea John. I had seen others use the removable bit design
with vice grips and box end wrenches. But I didn't have a T60 and I
thought an L-shaped allen with a pipe would be faster an easier.
Thankfully my valve cover has been leak free, knock on wood.

I have always thought allen was synonymous with hex - but

I think the use of the word expanded once they came out with new bolt heads
like TORX. L-shape is probably the more accurate and generalized term.

The cheap tools I got at O'Reilly's for this project are not even called

You might check Snap-On and MAC, it's possible that you're paying tool
truck prices by the time you include shipping
