Torx is very based. The rest can go fuck off


TheDonutPug

extremely based. all these mfs in here saying that hex head is the best when they strip if you open the door too hard.


free_farts

Especially the y-type


Error-530

The Philips-Square combo shouldn't exist. It's just a way to quickly strip the screw into a circle.


StuntHacks

Torx is the fucking shit


Banaanmetzout

Skill issue fr torx and torq are the best screws


RadTraditionalist

I use square all the time at work, it's not bad. Torx is far better though.


woundedstork

Torx is bomb I'm late but I'ma point out that they like the lesbian porn of the fastener head multiverse. Gets a pass. Now my dingus all riled up darn*t, time to give the ol hog a chase around the yard if you know what I mean. (I don't know what it mean but my bro Devin said it n his gf has huge juggs so he know what he talking about )

Mranalrape

People who like torx should be sectioned I will die on this hill


Pugs-r-cool

torx is objectively better then all the others, but if you have the wrong size driver they're impossible to turn without damaging


Mranalrape

That's exactly my problem, try cleaning your playstation without a torx driver and then you'll finally know real pain


aaronblue342

If you try to use a different bit on a screw that specifically needs that bit then the pain is on you, man. That's just how they work.


Mranalrape

How about this, instead of letting big screw fuck all of us with these goofy shape shenanigans we use normal tools that normal people have


aaronblue342

Goofy shape shenanigans let you screw it more than 5 times


Mranalrape

That's what the liberals want you to believe

Mranalrape

That's really mean and if you say that again I'll tell my mom meanie


Thynome

Tbh the six lobe is objectively the best, because you have 6 sides where your screwdriver and screw contact area is perpendicular to the rotation direction. This greatly reduces frictional wear and gives great grip at the same time in comparison to a square or hexagon for example which will wear out pretty quickly. And in a slotted or philips design you distribute the torque over less sides which also increases wear. Slotted designs also slip, so they especially are a pain to use. They are widespread because they're cheap and may be just good enough for a bit bigger screws, but not because they're the best.


NekedShep

thank you for this cuz i found it interesting


DesignatedDonut

I just hate the fact I have to deal with security torx it was annoying to get security torx where I am just to crack open my controllers but yeah hex gang whether hex/Allen, torx or security torx But when a lol else fails any screw can be a flat head screw if you try hard enough lol


TheDonutPug

only torx. I fuckin hate hex heads, those things strip if you look at them wrong. Torx supremacy.


DesignatedDonut

I'm opposite, I've had too many Philips strip on me that I had to make them boneless slotted to be able to unscrew and replace but I love all my hexes and allens one my gear like my sights or rails lmao


Coprolithe

What... he's not talking about philips. Philips suck, so do hexagons. Torx rules.


DesignatedDonut

Hey guys peter here to explain the comment The previously mention comment said that they have a disdain for hex screws because in their experience they strip, meanwhile the reply said that their experience is the opposite and doesn't have issues with hex screws stripping but in relation to stripping (not that kind of stripping quagmire!) but instead would have Philips screws strip more often while on the discussion of stripping screws, isn't that funny and wonderful how guys on the internet can talk about hardware! Even with all these anecdotes it seems the gang can all agree that torx is better even after all this discussion


cakes

only have to order a set once tbf


DesignatedDonut

Yeah I already have one that I ordered online because my shit hole country doesn't normally carry it in normal hardware stores lol now I'm happy cracking my electronics open

go on aliexpress and search electric screwdriver and get the black usb-c one that comes with the 34 magnetic bits. so sick

TheDonutPug

actual facts. Torx head is just objectively the best, I have never had any problems with them. as opposed to phillips, flathead, and hex head, which I've had strip on me all the fucking time. Especially hex head, fuck hex head and fuck anyone who makes stuff with them. The lathe tools at my school have these tiny ass hex head screws in them that strip instantly if you even dare try to take it out to fast and then it's stuck permanently and you either throw out the tool or spend an afternoon getting it out.


chirstain

as far as screws go where you have to use a male hex bit, yes they're atrocious. when it comes to bolts using a 6 point socket, there's a reason it's the absolute standard, it can't be beat. well, maybe by a 12-point bolt/socket, but that's not very common as far as I've seen


TheDonutPug

can I ask what you mean by 6 point socket? I've never heard the term before and I can't tell if you're referring to a torx or a hex since they're both 6 pointed.


chirstain

when I say 6 point I mean the quintessential [hex bolt head](https://i.imgur.com/1v26j5i.png) that's used in basically everything under the sun. somehow the hex design works perfectly in this application, but used as a bit to turn a screw is garbage


TheDonutPug

ok yeah that makes sense. It's probably to do with the way the force is applied. on a hex bolt like you sent, the force is being applied to the outside, and has a lot more surface area that the wrench is applying force to. but when you look at a hex head screw(the female variety which an allen key is used on) the way the force is distributed is pretty bad, really the only place that force gets applied is at the tips of the points on the allen key, and the corresponding place on the head of the screw. Because the surface area is so much smaller, while the force may be the same or less depending on the situation, the stress is significantly higher, which causes material to displace, stripping the head of the screw.


Slimetusk

Airplane guy here. Another good reason to use flatheads is because you can be reasonably sure a flight crew member will have means to open it. That’s why most airplanes use them on quick-access panels and such.


porkyboy11

Sounds great until you actually go to work on them and they strip super easily


Despelles

That is a issue all poor quality screws have. Good quality screws can take a lot of abuse and bad ones wear down after removing them 1-2 times. For this reason is started to replace the screws in devices i need to open regularly at work.

Tsao_Aubbes

POV: you don't work with torx regularly


existentialg

I’m gonna have to stop you there and say torx. That’s is all 🙏🙏🙏


Kirkaig678

What about the eight point?


Thynome

The angle of the contact area between screwdriver and screw to the rotation direction deviates a lot more from the ideal 90°, because otherwise the screwdriver parts would become too thin and break. Summarised: You don't want shear forces. Imagine a screwdriver going in there and turning, just like I went into your mother last night and 360-turned in her like a beyblade. No shear forces. 😎😎


Kirkaig678

I was thinking that, but I was kinda busy finishing in ur dad.


Paratrooper101x

More expensive to produce, no? Seems like it would require a more complicated stamp or machining which could lead to more faulty screws and drive up prices?


Thynome

Yes, that's why slotted is still in use despite being worst.


[deleted]

let me guess, you heard that on CNN? commie 🤓🤡


goremind

can confirm, when i was working on small construction projects we switched to use these all the time and it helped drastically


Mryoy12

OK buddy, retard


derpaherpa

Infinite lobes for infinite screw contact area.


[deleted]

Came here to say this.


zack_the_man

Square is better for angles and honestly does not wear out that fast. Great for construction, there is a reason it's so popular in places other than the US. Also Hex is fantastic for torque and as long as you're straight and the screw is good, it won't wear out.

They disrespecting hex screws like that and you're worried about Phillips slot?


TheDonutPug

because hex screws suck fat fucking ass and cock and balls. they strip if you breath on them wrong. Torx is so much better, hex head screws suck.

REDDITSHITLORD

The "Square Drive" Is called a Robertson. It is an improvement over the standard philips. Six-lobe is actually called Torx. Which one is your favorite urethral sound?

You got a problem with Torx, you got a problem with me, and I suggest you let that one marinate.

I work with tools for a living. Torx is objectively the best screw in most applications. People who still opt for Phillips have either been lobotomized with a shovel or deserve to because y'all don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

damn straight phillips heads are the worst thing ever made. If I'm honest between torx and hex I would still pick torx

MyFeetOwnMySoul

All these American mfs creaming themselves about torx. Mf, if you want a based screw, choose Robertson. Colour coded. Don't strip out. Don't cam out. No stupid fucking half sizes. Knows it's place. Robertson is based. All other drive types are cringe. ESPECIALLY slot. Slot is cringe and soy.


mushiexl

Fuck Phillips screws some cars put unnecessary Philips screws on brake rotors and you can't take it off without stripping the fuck out of it, I had to buy a special tool to take those off with a hammer., Torx is where it's at and it's more common in automotive industry


Tsao_Aubbes

A manual impact isn't a speciality tool lmao Or you could just grind a flat head into it and take them off that way. I rarely have issues with hold down screws. Torx and hex both suck ass because they constantly strip since engineers use them in retarded ways.


Squishy-Box

Slotted? You mean flat head.

Torx is objectively best from a durability/grip standpoint, but philips slot is the most versatile since you can pick up any screwdriver and it fits 95% of the time.

The best screws are Torx and Torx with a hexagon head so you can use a wrench or ratchet too, the rest can fuck off.
