Why does the catalog page say:

"For best results use M 12 size"

If there are various sizes for various applications, how would they
know that the M 12 size will give the best results?

Why would they even sell alternatives that *won't* give the best
results?

Because that is the largest thread size and most stable/strongest. But
not everything you might be attaching to the strut can accommodate a M12
bolt.

If what you are attaching can't accommodate an M 12 bolt, then the M
12 size won't give you the "best result".

That was basically the point of my question.

If your explanation is correct (and I have no reason to doubt it) then
the wording should be:

"For the best results, use the largest thread size that will work for
your application."

Selecting a specific size without knowing the given application and
saying that it will give the "best result" is misleading and confusing.
