As an American, I second this sentiment. Robbies for life!

hemko,

The fuck are robbies?

Anyways, torx for wood screws, torx or hex for machine screws

Aux,

Only hex, torx can fuck off.

hemko,

Torx are great. They do the same as hex, but better.

It’s a lot more difficult to mess up a torx screw than hex

Aux,

Torx are pretty much a single use screws. That’s why mountain bike brake rotor replacements always come with fresh screws - you undo old ones and 99.9% they will be busted.

hemko,

All screws are kind of single use, if you replace the part you should also replace the bolts.

But if you bust a torx in a single rotation (screw/unscrew) it’s either very shit quality or you’re doing something very very wrong. Maybe try a torx bit of a correct size instead of a hammer?

Aux,

It’s not a hammer issue, it’s a torx issue. They’re just shit.

hemko,

I think it’s an user issue

Chip_Rat,

Robertson. Square heads. Thems the way to screw.
