You can often just use a 6-point hex socket instead for the occasional weird one. But buy the correct thing if you have a car (probably German) with a lot of them.

I find them to be quite rare too, my latest encounter was changing the fuel pump on a 2013ish Mini Cooper. So apparently, they are used in euro auto manufacturing.

Nice set and price.
These are weird sockets, one of those things you don't need until you NEED it.
Good to have if you have a Bimmer or similar, otherwise you may never use these.

More and more things all of the time. I've never needed an impact socket for one though.
Not true at all. I know for a fact that they've been used on GM vehicles and Harley Davidsons for decades.

German stuff uses E-Torx heavily, if you work on USDM stuff you may not see them much.
BMW uses E-10, 12, and 14 on the transmission bell-housing and the CV axles.
