Triple squares or XZN are 12-pointed drivers. Volkswagen uses some of those in older really high torque applications like engine head bolts and drive shaft flanges.

Torx is a 6 lobe profile.

Regardless, $11 for a triple square set is pretty good.

Ah ok.. "square bit" aka Torx. Through me off thinking, "Robertson?"

Looks like a good deal though. Thanks for sharing.

So strange some of those sets come with bits for 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 sockets... So you need to roll around with 3 different wrenches or a bunch of adapters?

Good price for a XZN set. A necessity if you own a VW and do your own work.

The larger the bit the more torque it can handle. They don't expect you to use a 3/8 drive ratchet on a t20 for example cause you will either over torque the fastener or destroy the bit.
