+1 for torx. Have actually snapped screw shafts with those
The poor man’s Robertson
Go back to Canada!
Who needs more than 4 sides anyway?
That's the whole difference between torx vs Phillips.
Theoretically, you should never break a screw shaft with Phillips because they are designed to cam out before enough torque is applied to break the shaft of the screw.
It's supposed to be a feature
Still gonna use torx because once a philips cams out the screw as well ss the tool tip is useless
I believe this is actually a myth, post-hoc reasoning to explain away a shitty design
honestly torx is still garbage. the tiny ones on the bottom of tech products that get cemented in still strip like nobody's business.
Tech products often use stainless steel bolts, which are a lot softer than a normal steel
alrighty so torx screws are just shit in most cases you encounter them
I’d say by sheer count the majority of Torx screws I’ve encountered have been for deck boards, not tiny tech screws. And they were excellent.
phillips doesn't scale any better. i'm actually glad whenever i see torx on small devices instead.
Never have for me. I dont turn til fully seated
I ain't screwing with half my ass off my seat
Your choice, kudasai ;)
Idk man, I've been working IT for 10 years and have never stripped a torx. Didn't know it was possible
