Hey, if it works it works.
- It works, but badly. All my homies hate cam-out and love torx.
  
  It works great for it's intended purpose which is torque limiting.
  
  Slight myth there. It was not the intended purpose, but a sort of happy accident. The original patent stated it was a perfect, never damaging thing. See here and the reply here.
  
  Correct. The original patent makes no reference to any sort of cam out / torque limiting feature.
  
  Well, limiting torque but killing itself and becoming extremely hard to remove is terrible design lol
