      honestly torx is still garbage. the tiny ones on the bottom of tech products that get cemented in still strip like nobody’s business.

            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.

      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
