My new car has the seats bolted down with 12-point socket head bolts, see pic: http://webpages.charter.net/dwarner2/12-points.jpg

I can't find anyting to fit these on snap-on.com or Sears. Any idea
where to get the tools to turn these, in 3/8? drive?

(Searches for 12-point get thousands of sockets and combination
wrenches, but nothing for these heads.)

That's a "triple square" a.k.a. "cheesehead" bolt, a little hard to find drivers for them but I picked up a set a while back at a CarQuest. VW uses them a lot, so if you have a VW specialty shop or import car parts place around that would be a good place to try. That is NOT a Torx head!

If they are loose enough you can use an Allen wrench on these, but if it starts to fight you, don't force the issue because they will strip.
