minus-squareKillingTimeItselflinkfedilinkEnglish13•3 months ago+1 for torx being available in america. +1 for robertson existing at all.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•3 months agoThe only one I’ve never stripped out. I’ve broken drivers before I broke the screw!
minus-squareKptnAutismuslinkfedilink10•3 months agopozidriv is pretty cool, but annoying to use since people confuse it with phillips all the time so you end up with a lot of stripped screws. torx is the way to go. their sizing is odd, but it transfers torque well and is wear-resistant.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•3 months agoDouble hex and triple square just have to be just as bad as all the Phillips variants. I can’t see that being a reliable shape for a screw
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•3 months agoMy GTI had triple-square bolts for the seats. The bolts were maybe 1/2" diameter, and I was able to comfortably get a lot of torque on them. Weird design though, and can’t imagine it holding up on smaller, softer screws
