 Obviously 8 pt sockets would be used for square nuts.  I just about 
 _never_ see them in real life (at least where you'd want to use a socket).
 
 Hence the question.

Experienced knuckle-busters-
This will bring back a few moments for the more "seasoned" of us on the list. 
I seem to recall that I had to buy an 8 point socket set (Wayne brand with 
absolutely no recollection of where I got them ...maybe Western Auto (are they 
still in business?)) to remove the shocks on my '39 Ford hotrod coupe. 
The set still looks unused!

I hate it when the watchmacallit starts to go...
