One other thing that springs to mind is the design of the sockets, hex sockets are much less likely to round off nuts, 12 point ones are designed primarily for 12 point nuts and bolts, and while they do work on hex heads there's more chance of damaging the nut or bolt because they drive on the points of the nut rather than the flats
