Are you maybe confusing "Torx security" bits for plain Torx bits? Torx security bits have a hole punched through the center that is indeed a pain in the butt. Standard Torx bits on the other hand are pleasant to work with and extremely easy to come by (heck they give them out for free with most construction screw boxes).
- dontcare007 5y agoI hate the security bits. There's no good reason to have them.
- michaelt 5y agoI think this varies by country. A builder picking up a pack of screws won't buy something he doesn't have a screwdriver for, and a basic toolbox will only have screwdrivers for the most common screw heads - giving these things quite a bit of inertia. So an American might consider Torx a widely used screw that everyone has a driver for. Whereas a Brit might rank Torx as an obscure security screw, like pentalobe.
