screw. It was on there so hard I broke a 1/2 inch drive Craftsman
19 mm 12 point socket. I had to go buy a 19 mm six point impact

Never have understood what in the world a 12 pt socket was for.
A 12 point box end, yes.  A 12 pt socket, no.  6 pt is stronger

Got plenty of them, the only kind I have ever broken are 12 pt.
I only buy 6 pts anymore.
