Its 12-point, anti-rounding radius-corner design is made to grip fasteners by the sides rather than the tips to help reduce rounding. A chamfered opening helps guide the socket onto the fastener for quicker alignment, while the size ID is both laser marked and permanently stamped for easier reading over time.
