I'm not sure you will need a 12pt hardened.
I've done about 8 jobs now with a 5/8 pittsburg pro deep socket from Harbor Freight. 1/2in drive.
5/8 swivel snap-on socket (ebay) 1/2in drive.
12pt 12mm craftsman socket. 3/8 drive,
12pt 8mm 1/4 drive - valve cover bolts.
3/8 flex head pittsburg pro ratchet
1/2in 25in pittsburg pro breaker bar.
Soaking the exhaust bolts in a little pb-blaster the day before is always helpful.
