  Hex stripped even when using the correct size likely due to a seized part.

    Yeah, I’ve had hex strip before as well. It’s always been on the smaller sizes for me though at least. Like sub M3 or 1/8" ish. And of course, cheap hex keys are just asking for it at those sizes. On the other hand, I’ve definitely never had a torx head strip out on me.

  Robertson is fine, much much better than Philips, and cheaper to manufacture than torx.
