Found AutoZone, Bought Cheap Tool WAS 016 Hex Plug...

They break with around 100 lb. feet of twist. But $8.00. Plus, when they
break, they still have enough left (sometimes) to file flat and reuse. The
bad thing is that you can file them:(   Not high quality.

> Well, I found the 17mm hex socket at AutoZone, as suggested by Eric
Kissell.  $8 for a set of three:  12, 14 and 17mm, 1/2" drive.  They are
made in Taiwan, the brand is "OEM Industrial: Tools for the professional"
and are essentially big, chopped down hex wrenches with a socket wrapped
around them, about 2.5" overall length.   Not as nice as the Snap-On *for
sure*, or the FACOM either I presume.  Fingers crossed, I'll let everyone
know if it works.  I already feel a little guilty about not springing for
the Snap-On, so I hope things don't go downhill from here.
