Yea, that is interesting to see real testing prove what I pretty much knew from experience and a few busted knuckles. 12 point is great to get the nut or bolt snugged down kinda sorts tight, but final torque I prefer 6 point.
I have mostly old school Craftsman made in USA tools, and just the advanced hobbyist tools. One tool I had to chase down a Snap On truck to get was a 18mm Crow Foot, line wrench for removing the power steering pressure line on my El Camino. I did not even own a 18 mm wrench before that. It is deep down into an hole so no chance to get a regular wrench on it. I have used it twice, once to remove the old leaking line, and once to tighten the new line.
