[QUOTE="roy_1031, post: 16350164, member: 122960"] It’s the other way around. A 12pt will strip before a 6pt will. A 6pt has more contact area and can take more torque before stripping. We use 1-1/2” studs on very large water pipelines at work torqued to around 1200ft/lbs and we use a 6pt nut with a 2-3/8th inch socket. When I built my engine I went with the 2000’s and 6pt nuts and saved a few bucks. I think they sell the 12pts for more as some may think they look “prettier”.
