More specifically the triangle sockets i will need to disassemble an injection pump. I have sockets wrenches and most importantly hammers. but i dont know if theres a way to source the proper tools for the job?

Tools are tools. You cannot screw them up, wouldn't trust his pumps.. but tools are tools.

I made all my own by deftly using a dremel grinding bit for chainsaw sharpening on the most appropriate socket. The side triangle 3-points I think I made from a 6-point 13mm socket. The pressure regulator socket I made from a 10mm 6-pt and the front big triangular nut I made from a 24mm 12-pt.

you make a very valid point, but i may attempt libby's approach just for the purpose of not providing prothe with my business.
thanks for the quick replies guys

I strongly disagree.
Soft cheap tools round out a lot faster then quality tools.
Snapon Philips screwdrivers also don't snap the ends off the first time you go to use them like Mastercraft stuff.

Oh no, you're a snap-on fan boy.
LoL.
Cheap tools are what they are, inexpensive. Mastercraft has a lifetime warranty, you ever tried to get Snap-On to honor theirs? A Joke.

thats a double edged sword though, as a mechanic i personally buy the tools so i only have to buy them once, warranty or not i dont want to break a tool in the morning then be stuck without it all day. Home use i couldnt care less though haha

No, my box and compression tester are the only Snap-On tools I own. I would like a Snap-on wrench set though, or anything better than Mastercraft. Their wrenches flex too much. I need to go to more garage sales...

I just used a 13mm (Draper Expert I think) socket and a hammer for the 3 sided bolt, worked the very best for both disassembly and reassembly

I mauled a socket with my angle grinder. I think it has lifetime guarantee if I change my mind.
