Torx® is a registered trademark of Acument Global Technologies, meaning that the lawful and certified production of Torx® products must be done by licensees adhering to Acument’s strict and exacting specifications. 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.

I would like to know more! Can I sign up for regular updates on genuine Torx® products in my inbox?

Phillips head screws are designed to prevent overtightening by forcing the screwdriver out of the screw once the desired tightness has been reached; this process is referred to as ‘cam-out’. While Phillips head screws are designed to encourage cam-out, Torx® screws do just the opposite and are designed to prevent cam-out, instead encouraging the screw to reach max tightness and reducing wear and tear on both screw and screwdriver.

Since cam-out is prevented with the use of Torx® tools, driver bits remain in good condition for longer. Use of Torx® tools in industrial settings can help to improve the lifespan of your tools, reducing purchasing costs over time and making Torx® one of the most cost competitive options currently available. With Torx®, you’ll be able to create long-lasting results without putting any unnecessary stress on yourself or your tools.

Strange screw heads serve a very important purpose: You put them on poo poo you dont want people opening in the field. The less likely it is something in their toolbox fits it the better

Also works in the opposite direction: if it has weird screws, I know not to mess with it.

Alternatively, if it has weird screws the manufacturer wants you to pay hundreds of dollars at a licensed repair shop instead of buying a $10 bit kit to replace the PlayStation drive yourself

I have done alarms and other low voltage for years and sometimes panels use those weird screws because it's less likely someone that came to try to gently caress with an alarm panel is gonna bring the right bit.

This is why reboots and remakes loving suck. The original design where the monster had its eyes in its palms was far superior to whatever the gently caress this is.
