I'd like Torx if when they got used they didn't torque the shit out of the screws. Only the Steam Controller has ever been a simple process of removing Torx screws.

Everything else takes the power of drawing Excalibur from its stone.

For me, it's how the key feels in the head. It doesn't go in far enough that you can let the key just sit there on it's own like with a hex head.

I hate that too, I feel like I have that issue with Philips as well. In fact, I was struggling with it just today

The flipside to that is when you've got a JIS driver and when you're done it doesn't want to let go of the screw. Very satisfying, possibly sexual.

Jiggling it like you're getting the last few drops from the gas pump...

That's more of a tapping motion for me, but everyone has different needs and who am I to judge?

I guess it just depends on your tools, I prefer torx over hex because it feels much more solid and less likely to strip out if it's a cheap screw, I worked on a product that had the outside screws there were supposed to look nice use these hex heads made of butter haha but the rest of the appliance used all torx of the same size head

Maybe, I only work with high tensile stuff and occasionally stainless, so I've never had issues with hex heads (that weren't caused by misuse)
