minus-squareMac@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6arrow-down1·19 hours agoStripping is almost always user error and i personally don’t like torx. But I’m down for any of them if made a singular a standard!
minus-squareAlcoholicorn@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9arrow-down1·19 hours agoMaybe user error, but hex comes in both us and metric metric and the difference is often just tight enough to strip it or loose enough you can pound it in with a hammer. Torx only comes in 1 scale. What do you personally take issue with?
minus-squareMac@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·17 hours agoThat’s true. I just dont like the feel of using them and I’ve also broken multiple of the small torx bits. But realistically i don’t care what standard is chosen as long as there was one.
