I was exposed to torx wood screws about 5 years ago. I have not gone back.
Posi/cross head screws are just crap, the amount of pressure required to drive them in is tremendous.
Hex heads are ok, but still require a bit of pressure.
Torx screws can be driven in with one hand on the drill. ONE HAND. plus if youre at the top of a ladder, there is no need to push yourself off it to get the fucking screw into the wall.
for those people in the UK, screwfix sell turboscrews (https://www.screwfix.com/c/screws-nails-fixings/woodscrews/cat840066?brand=turbo_ii https://www.screwfix.com/c/screws-nails-fixings/woodscrews/c...), which are excellent torx screws, they also come with the drivers needed in every box. Spax are just overly expensive.
- timbit42 4y agoI'd like to hear your comments on Robertson if you could get it where you live. I am sure it is better than Torx.
- KaiserPro 4y agoI've only used them a few times. The main issue is bit/hole longevity. They work well once, assuming you have a fresh bit. but if someone doesn't have a clutch set on the drill, then you tend to get subtle damage pretty quick.
