Socket 1156 pegs

Would anyone know 2-3 good sources for plastic pegs used to mount coolers on Intel socket 1156? Due to the poor design, have ruined a number of them and am facing a multi-unit build project. TIA, V.

It's the same design they been using since s775 and still using today. If you read the directions, it's nearly impossible to ruin one. You simply push them in to install (no turning), turn arrows and pull out to remove. Very simple.

Thanks for the quick replies. My first mistake was mounting the pegs after mobo was mounted. Have switched to mounting cooler first but that having been said, think design stinks relative to older versions on both INTC and AMD side.
