Default Why 6 and 12 point sockets? Toller + no research

I just bought a used set of socket wrenchs. It has both 6 and 12 point

I am guessing that 6 is stronger and 12 can be used on square heads, but
neither of those seem to justify having both. Is there a better reason?



I see Google is still broken or is it you?
