you wont strip a 12.9 hex..... the allen wrench will give first..... only trouble I've ever had have been with stainless / mild steel which rust in place and round off

plus I am single handedly trying to keep copperslip afloat with the amount i'm using on the rebuild lol

bzp sockets will certainly be better than using standard steel bolts... the landrover originals were able to spontaneously rust at the very mention of water

Snap-on, Mac, and other tool suppliers like that make the best. Buy best buy once

oddly the snap-on are good but twist relatively easily ,short ones are the best for tight stuff but std sockets are so much better
