minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink53•edit-210 months ago+1 for torx. Have actually snapped screw shafts with those
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink10•10 months agohonestly torx is still garbage. the tiny ones on the bottom of tech products that get cemented in still strip like nobody’s business.
minus-squareBoomer Humor DoomergodlinkfedilinkEnglish11•10 months agoTech products often use stainless steel bolts, which are a lot softer than a normal steel
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•10 months agoalrighty so torx screws are just shit in most cases you encounter them
minus-squareTheRealKunilinkfedilinkEnglish3•10 months agoI’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.
minus-squareKptnAutismuslinkfedilink7•10 months agophillips doesn’t scale any better. i’m actually glad whenever i see torx on small devices instead.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•10 months agoNever have for me. I dont turn til fully seated

minus-squareTacolinkfedilinkEnglish1•10 months agoIdk man, I’ve been working IT for 10 years and have never stripped a torx. Didn’t know it was possible
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•10 months agoThat’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
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•10 months agoStill gonna use torx because once a philips cams out the screw as well ss the tool tip is useless
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•10 months agoI believe this is actually a myth, post-hoc reasoning to explain away a shitty design
