I'm baffled as to why some dampers which are fitted with top and/or bottom nuts have such a silly shaped head on them. The head is flattened on two sides and curved on the other two. When an old strut is really rusted up and you want to remove the nut from the damper, how the blazes are you supposed to grip onto the head of the damper?
Why isn't the head properly square or a hexagon so that you can use a proper 6-pt socket on it?
The only tool which I'm fairly certain is correct is one of the three pieces in this set:
