I think Ryan or Bull need to ban me from the Classified effective immediately! You have no idea how much I have spent on this silly thing since becoming a member. This place is like my crack house.
Just kidding about the banning part. :)
Most often it is due to space constraints on our race cars. You can get more torque on a smaller 12 pt fastener than a 6 pt of the same size (I think). It also seems like you can maneuver a 12 pt fastener/tool in tight places easier than a 6 pt.
Spline baby! That is where it is at! :bounce:
In all seriousness, I was a 6 pt only guy until I began to drag race and you would be surprised how many 12 pt fasteners are on a race car these days. I think it has a lot to do with ARP.
One thing for sure, you can always use a 12 pt socket...
I will take the SK set. Please pm me your PayPal info and I will do it as a gift. I forgot to add that I need a "clicker" type torque wrench due to the awkward positions I find myself in. Literally not figuratively! :D
I need to replace some tools that were stolen. I prefer unmarked SK, Williams, Snap on....in that order.
1/2" SAE socket set 12 pt, ratchets (2), extensions
1/2" torque wrench
Whatcha got? :)
Thanks!
I use 12 pt a lot more on my race cars than 6 pt. It is mainly due to many of the ARP fasteners are 12 pt especially intake and header bolts. I really like my SK spline sockets and wrenches for my "go to" tools. They work on everything and don't round off the fasteners like you think they...
