- Interesting notes on 6pt vs 12 point sockets, but I've NEVER rounded a nut/bolt with a 12 point. Guess I've been lucky.

- I have, but usually only when I knew I was applying enough torque to do so. I'm lucky enough to have both 6 and 12 point sockets, I rarely use 6 point on anything but the impact wrench. However, I a

- yes but the purpose behind the 12 point is cost...it's cheaper to make than the 6 point. A 6 point will break before it ruins the nut, a 12 point will ruin the nut before it breaks. If 12 point were

- Nonsense. I have broken many 12-point-sockets in my time. If what you say were true, it would be impossible to break a 12-point socket. Sometimes the 12-point socket ruins the nut. Sometimes the 12-p

- No I am not. I agree with your post generally, but not with one particular sentence. What I was saying is that the statement "a 12 point will ruin the nut before it breaks" is demonstrably untrue on
