Sounds like Glen & I have similar tool collections. Mine mostly Craftsman from the USA days, a smattering of other brands. Some snap-on bought for specific tasks. Also wondering why so many of Craftman socket sets were a mix of 6 and 12 point. Was it less costly to make 12 point? Then, why are combo sets usually 12 points on the closed end?
For the young guys still building their tool collection? Pretty obvious..buy 6 point when you can.
The video was a bit of a torture test...going to forces far beyond usual what's needed for normal wrenching. So, I'll keep that in mind when I place a 12 point socket on a ratchet because it's the only one that fits.
