True...IIRC, even the older Jeep 4.0 used 12 pt head bolts. I like to keep it simple: 6 pt sockets on 6 pt bolts, and 12 pt sockets on 12 pt bolts.But they have their uses. Used on Kia head bolts and on Freightliner and plenty of other things too just to name a couple.
Yeah I think so. Toyota does as well. A lot of things do actually. And yeah that’s what I try to do now. I’m one of the few in the shop with 12 points so if anyone needs them they come to someone like me that does have them.True...IIRC, even the older Jeep 4.0 used 12 pt head bolts.

That can happen with cheap tools. Good 12 points, like SK, Williams, or Snap-On, don’t round bolt heads as easily.Before I knew any better I rounded off plenty of drain plugs with them. Sometimes I end up rounding them off even with a 6 point too maybe it’s me haha . But they have their uses.
