12 point is kinda special I guess, not to common is standard kits, I had to buy one anyways and I picked up another 12 point for my arps bolts

BTW- How the hell do you strip a 12 point nut? You trying to throw a 13mm on there or something? Ive seen people strip some hard ----, but head bolts are something you cant ---- around with

A regular high grade nut would do just fine though

sometimes those sockets are hard to find. it is easy to find a 12 point shallow but a 12 point deep is hard to find.
