We are all familiar with traditional slot-head screws, which require a flat-bladed screwdriver, and cross-head screws, which might be Phillips or Pozidriv. But there are many additional, specialised screw-types including Torx screws. What is a Torx Screw?

a higher level of corrosion resistance is required the A2 or A4 bi-metal variant provides a stainless A successor to the original Torx design was Torx Plus, introduced in 1990. This design made improvements on the original which enabled higher torque to be applied while minimising wear. and materials, including stainless steel, are available for light duty applications where the high performanceWell, now having got myself a goodish T30 screwdriver, and with the aforementioned T30 screws, I can now see just how solid they are, so can see why they might be popular. (Will be getting myself some Torx bits in due course).

Torx screwdrivers have distinctive 6-point star shaped head which mate perfectly with appropriately sized screw heads. The unique Torx design means that there is less likelihood that the screw head will be stripped or the screwdriver damaged. Torx screwdrivers can last up to ten times longer than regular screwdrivers due to the resilience of the design. Torx screws are typically used in vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles, computer systems, hard disk drives and consumer electronics. The unusual star-shaped head makes them far more secure than regular flat-head or cross-head screws and allows higher torque transmission so screws and bolts can be tightened more securely. Torx Screwdrivers fastener with a high performance non-stainless cutting tip. Though costly, this option offers the best Torx is the trademark for a type of screw head, developed by Camcar Textron in 1967. It’s characterised by a distinct, 6-point star-shaped pattern and is often called a ‘star screw’ that requires a ‘star screwdriver’ with a ‘star bit’ to tighten and untighten them.Our car torx screws are universal and can be used on any car. They are made of high quality stainless steel and are very durable. relied upon in modern construction projects where their speed and efficiency of use considerably reduce
