12-points socket heads sets

Socket heads (12-point)

— socket wrenches with a working part in the form of two hexagons overlaid on each other, creating a "star" with sharp angles. Notable for being usable with hexagonal fasteners as well, although not under high torque, as the contact area is small and the risk of slipping increases. However, with their "native" fasteners, these attachments provide reliability even under high loads. Another advantage of twelve-point sockets is that when working without a ratchet, they can be repositioned every 30°, which is invaluable when working in hard-to-reach places.
