   I'm pretty functional, often making square drives that will fit a   
   particular 12 point wrench or socket, but there is certainly an elegant   
   look to a well made hex with a nice chamfer.

   -------------------------   
   A hex head fitted fairly closely to a 6 point socket holds up better than   
   alternatives when cut from mild steel. Most of my sawmill has 9/16" hex   
   heads on 3/8" bolts or milled into the ends of the 3/4"-10 track and log   
   leveling screws. I keep a disassembled T handle drive and a gear wrench in   
   my pocket for them, as there are only a few safe flat spots around the work   
   area to leave things and whatever falls is lost in sawdust.   
      
   The log leveling adjusters in particular are turned often while heavily   
   loaded to fine tune for log taper. Unlike small commercial bandsaw mills   
   with attached toeboards the log supports are separate from and log weight   
   doesn't deflect the track the saw head rolls on. Mine can be set up level or   
   gravity assisted on uneven sloping ground.
