They sell 8 point, not 4 point sockets, perhaps that is why you cant

four point (square) sockets (and/or wrenches)

who makes them, who retails 'em?



A couple sets came with my Craftsman 900 pc set. I'd check your local
Sears

There were several sizes of square sockets supplied for adjusting
brakes - Lockheed or Girling IIRC. My old Mini required one of them.
Can't remember which other odball car I owned required another
(different sized). The 8 poit Craftsman sockets worked if the
adjusters were well lubed and not started to seize.
