Pozidrives and torx screws are so vastly superior to philips and slotted screws that it’s not even funny

I know six weeks sounds like a long time for driver's ed but most of my tools aren't the sharpest tools in the shed. Only the sharpest one is, and that's a knife, not a screwdriver

True, although I do have to give 1 point to slotted screws. Not great, but their simplicity does have a certain aesthetic charm, and they're often chosen when screws must remain visible and not look like crap.

And I do love me a nice square drive/robertson.

Finding out that the best way to deal with a stripped screw was to hit the screwdriver hard with a hammer. Changed my life. Even when doing phone repairs.

Acument regulates Torx® products worldwide, so no matter where you go, you can rely on Torx® products to always perform to the same high standards you expect.

Our Taiwan factory makes only Genuine Torx Licensed Product. Any product with names such as “Six Lobe”, “Star”, etc are non-licensed product and not subject to genuine Torx License Specifications.

Knockoff brands are not regulated, meaning their design specifications are left entirely up to the creators. Because of this, knockoffs of Torx® brand tools and screws are often improperly made, combining weak materials and incorrect design features to create substandard products. Worst of all, knockoff tools are unreliable, often coming out inconsistent with a variety of dimensions, materials, and durability. Knockoffs will often break, destroy other tools, or simply not get the job done correctly, forcing you to either live with bad results or find a new supplier of better quality supplies.
