WHEN TO USE 6 POINT SOCKETS AND 12 POINT SOCKETS

When using a six-point socket and a twelve-point socket there are many things that user should consider. Since there are not many cons to compare for each, the focus of this article will compare the pros to help you make the best decision to fit your needs. First, let's discuss the pros of using a six-point socket.

The main selling point in buying a six-point socket over a twelve-point socket is its durability. The six-point socket typically has thicker walls, allowing you to apply much more torque without wearing down your socket. The larger surface will not only allow for more torque, but it will also have a more secure fit, making it less likely to slip. While six-point sockets Excel in durability, twelve-point sockets have the edge in versatility.

The twelve-point socket is more versatile than a six-point socket because not only can it be used on six-point nuts and bolts, but it also works on square nuts and bolts. Twelve-point sockets are also easier to use in tight, not easily visible spaces. This is due to the twelve-point socket having twice the amount of engagement points. For loosening fasteners that are in tight, hidden areas, twelve-point sockets are the way to go. These are the main factors to consider when choosing between six point and twelve-point sockets. Even though the pros of each socket should be the main deciding factor, there are some cons that should be considered.

The cons of a six-point socket versus a twelve-point socket do lie in favor of the six point, according to most users. Even though the amount of engagement points is double in a twelve-point socket and you can use them for square and six-point fasteners, the wall surface of the socket is greatly decreased. This will cause the socket to strip with higher torque applications and make the twelve-point socket more likely to slip. Though twelve-point socket makes working in tight, low-visibility areas easier, the six-point socket will indeed work in those areas as well.

In conclusion, the pros and cons of the twelve-point socket versus a six-point socket will give the individual the information they need to find the right socket.

There have been many different types of face masks, or filtering facepiece respirators (FFR), surfacing over the last few months.  With the demand arguably being higher than it ever has been, obtaining one of these respirators is currently very difficult.  In some cases, individuals and businesses are required to wait months before receiving them.  This has created a gap in the market to allow a large variety of various different respirators to emerge.  Choosing between the FFR that best fits your needs can be confusing.  Attached to these masks are usually a performance standard certification that most are not familiar with, such as DS2, KMOEL, P2, FFP2, and the more common N95 and KN95.  While these certifications have been prevalent for years, most individuals are being exposed to these terms for the first time.  The N95 certification class is the standard used in the United States that passes specific tests that include filter performance, inward leakage, inhalation resistance, and more.  Below is a chart from 3M, a Fortune 500 company founded in 1902 that manufactures FFRs:

Picking the best respirator for you relies solely on the purpose in which you intend on using it, whether it be a safety requirement at work or just personal protection while in public.  Gathering information is the best way to help you decide.  Please use this article as one of many resources to help you make the decision that best fits your needs.
