minus-squarebarsoap@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-21 year agoTorx are the better hex as they apply torque to six planes, not six lines. It’s right-out impossible to strip a torx. The disadvantage is that it’s harder to machine but that really doesn’t matter for cast screws. Tools are also cheaper that’s why IKEA etc. use them.
