Comment on The torque better not be too strong with this one

Torx was just so they could make wood screws that weren’t Robertson and it bled out from there.

Torx bits are waaaay stronger than hex. Like double the surface area and tapered to work when corroded.
My 30 year old VW axles with hex bolts were a nightmare. The new ones are all Torx or 12pt.
I ended to driving an oversized Torx but into the nearly stripped hex bolts to finally remove them.
