Hello all, Can someone inform me what the difference and benefits there are to using these different types of sockets/wrenches? From my own personal experience, the 12 point type wrenches are more likely to strip a bolt. I was recently working on my car and was having difficulty removing a bolt, one of the mechanics saw what I was using and told me I needed a 6 point box wrench. My current tool set is a Craftsmen 255 piece set. It has 6 and 12 point sockets for 1/4 and 3/8 drive, but the 1/2 inch drive only has 12 point sockets. All the box wrenches are 12 point. Thanks.
