minus-squareSludgeyy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year 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-squareSam_Bass@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoStill gonna use torx because once a philips cams out the screw as well ss the tool tip is useless
minus-squarePastyWaterSnake@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoI believe this is actually a myth, post-hoc reasoning to explain away a shitty design

minus-squareTheRealKuni@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year 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.

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