I have both 6-point & 12-point in a lot of sockets, Doesn't seem to matter most of the time. I started out only buying 6-point then started running into 12-point fasteners (people love to buy 12-point ARP fasteners) plus whenever a OEM throws in a 12-point.
All that seemed cheap compared to all the specialty stuff required today.....Torx-Plus, External Torx-Plus, 5-point Torx-Plus Security, Triple Square, & Spline.
6-point Wrenches have their uses, GM Differential Pin Bolts **** near require a 6-point 5/16" wrench. Bleeder Screws that are right up against something where you can't get a socket on it is another.
