Torx is great but fuck security torx
Situation: There are 20 screw standards.
John Corporate: "20 standards... I know, I'll create a new type of screw that will be unique to my corporate overlords and prevent users from repairing their own devices!"

Torx is the only head that needs to exist. The rest can go fuck a rusty chainsaw.
Americans will do anything the hardest way possible, huh lol
Robbie superiority.
Torx or Robertson, are the only ones worth a damn.
Square drive on personal projects, forever and always. Maybe I'm buying the wrong torx, Phillips, and flat screws, but they strip out way too often. I've never had issues with square drive screws no matter where or how I use them
Yup, anytime I'm driving into solid wood, it's square head screws. Phillips heads slip out under the stress and end up stripped.
Look at the history of Phillips screws. They’re designed to torque out. Automobile assembly line workers can’t be trusted to not overtighten them
Robertson, hex and torx should be on that list, the rest of that shit can stay in the scrap bin of designs
Anyone who willfully uses a slotted screw on a new project in the presence of even somewhat reasonable alternatives should have a lifetime ban on designing any items for anyone.
Also, use Robertsons, gink.
The torx are the most resistant, the rest can also cease to exist.
