minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•2 years agoMy favorite is hex, self centering and doesn’t strip easily
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•edit-22 years agoTorx are the better hex as they apply torque to six planes, not six lines. It’s right-out impossible to strip a torx. The disadvantage is that it’s harder to machine but that really doesn’t matter for cast screws. Tools are also cheaper that’s why IKEA etc. use them.
