As I said, you are welcome to your opinion, and low quality tools may well be made to poor tolerances. If your tools fit different sized fasteners and you are happy with that, then you are more than...

12pt is the way to go with these because they excel in tight situations. 6pt only would limit your range of motion and breaking bolts really shouldn't be done with a ratchet if you want them to last

That is not correct. 5/8" is only 15.875 mm, too small to fit a 16 mm bolt. Maybe if you had a bad quality 5/8" with loose tolerances it may be big enough to fit, but will not work well and will...

16mm is .630". A 5/8 (.625") SAE wrench would have more than enough plus tolerance to fit a 16mm bolt head.

I'm no mechanic, but as far as I've heard, it's easier to strip a bolt using 12 point wrenches/sockets. On the other hand, I think 12 point can give you a better grip?

You left this part out when quoting me: "The difference is .005", which is about the thickness of a sheet of paper." All wrenches have far more slop than that.
