The original hex type were 2 ft lbs which is why they were re-designed. The new type with two flat sides will do 6-8 ft/lbs which is correct for standard M6 10mm hex fasteners. If you break the new type then you would also have broken a standard fasteners too or pulled the threads out of the case.

Either way, if you have the hex type get in touch and I'll provide you with the new type.
