Very cheap from Lowes. It's good stuff. Doesn't fling off, dries quick, lasts a long time, and you can use it for other lube applications. Plus, it smells good.

+1 on kobalt. i use to work at an automotive shop, and plan on going back soon. when i first got the job, they had no tools for the oil techs, so i stoped at lowes on the way one day, picked up a 60 dollar socket/rachet set (the neat open center ones). later that day, a head tech said i made a good buy and not to let the other oil techs get a hold of them. i was confused why this set was so good, he explained that snap on basicly makes there stuff, just not made exactly the same (maybe it was made out side the u.s.). the set was used 11 hours a day for over a year, when i quit i took the set with me. all the moving parts still work perfict, im just pissed its missing a few sockets cus the other oil techs. im not saying craftsmans worse or better, they both have lifetime warrentys, and i have both in my tool box (thats made by snap-on, full of snap-on tools) but kobalt is cheaper a lot of the time.

Just so everyone knows, I believe the range on bolts is from 5 to 20 mm.

Should help a bit if you're buying a kit or even piece by piece.
