I have the regular sockets (not swivel/universal) in the Mac Spherical (Spline) and I really like them.

Spline seems to be either a love or hate on GJ. I use mine a bunch. I only bought them because I got the set for $10 or $20 out in my travels.

I also have all the splines that Snap on makes, and I like those too.

Some guys say they dig into the fastener and get stuck a lot...IIRC it was from someone in the rust belt?? That would make sense. Out here in dry so cal the hardware is in good shape and I have not had them stick. I haven't noticed any marring either.

Spline also gets a bad name because of the ******** cheap tool kits that have the splines that are supposed to fit SAE/MM and every other gimmick they can think of.

Thanks for your in put about spline sockets.

So my friend uses them for e torx and regular 6 point. not having to buy swivel 12 point and e torx sockvets saves me money and space.
