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

      Tech products often use stainless steel bolts, which are a lot softer than a normal steel

          I’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.

      phillips doesn’t scale any better. i’m actually glad whenever i see torx on small devices instead.
