This guy mechanics
Indeed torx is so good because it attempts to maximize the surface where pressure is applied to. This is good on smaller sized bolts that are more prone to being rounded, but especially amazing when removing bolts that may have been exposed and potentially corroded
Hex was for that before.
Yeah, hex is very nice but torx is improvement over it.
I have not checked on it, but I'm like 97.25% sure wood screws jumped from Philips to torx however because of corrosion resistance. Hex is very easy to round already as is on smaller sizes, but even more so if the head is exposed to elements and corroded. Of course material matters a lot, but even stainless corrodes over time.
Torx has to be very, very bad condition for it to round, it's more likely for the screw to snap
Sorry for drunk rambling but I really like bolts. And bearings for what it's worth
Curious how "really like bolts. And bearings!" is working out on your Tindr profile?
Luckily I've never had a tinder profile. And my wife liked my nuts so we're good
But does she like your Torx?
( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)
I love my tools and keep them in prime condition. What's there to dislike? ;)
