A stroll down the screw aisle at my local hardware store says otherwise. Most heavy duty, high quality construction screws in USA stores like Lowes or Home Depot offer deck, wood and carpentry screws in Torx format. The GRK brand in particular makes the most bulletproof screws I’ve ever found, and I’ve used them for framing, cabinetry, decking and almost anything imaginable. By contrast I almost never see machine or metal fastening screws in Torx format, almost always these are Philips or Hex.
