Default A good addition to the tool box? 12-pointed sockets

Would these get a lot of use on a Audi? If anyone else is interested in bidding, please let me know so we don't drive the bid up. I'm sure he has more than one set.<ul><li><a href="http://cgi1.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws1/eBayISAPI.dll?MakeTrack&amp;item=2454477402">http://cgi1.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws1/eBayISAPI.dll?MakeTrack&amp;item=2454477402</a</li></ul>

Default His prices are kinda high...

In addition, I don't think you need the entire set...for our cars, I think the 12mm socket comes in handy for the tranny fluid changes, but other than that, I'm not sure you would have a use for the rest of the set. You're probably better off going to a local autoparts store, and ordering the socket you need.

Default you use the 12mm for steering wheel removal

I got a set of bits for like $5 from autozone. Not sockets, bits.
