Default It might also be called a "Serrated Wrench" ...

b/c that's what I needed to remove some of my 'vert support brackets when installing a new sway bar. Someone else said it was also known as a "triple square." The package said "10 mm serrated wrench for 12 point metric socket head screws." Got mine at Napa auto parts for about $8.00. Take your car there and they'll find the tool to fit it.

Need them to remove the front seats in the car.

Its not something thats easy to find. I think he checked at Home Depot and Lowes and both of them didn't have it. I think he ended up ordering a set online or something. A good size autoparts store might have it.

Default Even most auto parts store don't carry them. Stop the Snap-On tools truck or something...

Hey, I'm gonna give you a shout later...

TORX is different than a triple square. 6 point (torx) vs 12 point (triple square)
