Ok, if you're using splined fasteners for high torque applications, I get it. Not that I've ever run into a spline fastener,,just torx/star and hex, if not 6/12 side fasteners.
But what's interesting in that document is that they claim that the spline sockets are fine for use on 4, 6 or 12-pt fasteners, and may actually do a better contact job.
Not sure I trust that, but can't say I deny it either. I'm not a fan of 12 pt sockets if I can avoid them, so can't say I'd be a fan of these, but it's interesting they are being claimed to be a one size fits all...
