Best Answer

They are used on the old square nuts and bolts. Some automotive drain plugs have square heads. Also, certain sizes are useful in theatrical lighting instruments and on chassis punches. Anywhere you encounter a bolt with a square head, an 8-point socket will be useful. They are also know as "double square" sockets.
