I've heard about these a couple times, but was wondering what 8 point fasteners have been used on?

Pretty sure they're for fasteners with square heads.

That's what I would assume as well, but why wouldn't people just use a regular 12pt?

I suppose 8 points would grip better. All I know is i've had those same 5 sockets as you for about 6 years now and i've never used them.

These are really nice for brass npt plugs that are real tight or down in a hole where you can't get a wrench.

I used similar for gas nozzles on ranges, ovens and other gas parts, NPT fitting etc. It does grip better then 12pt as the brass are kind of soft and oftentimes the parts are heat annealed.

they are good for fittings and such, and I also use them to check torque wrenches against each other(especially since I have a cheapo TW)
