Best Answer

Torx is a family of screws/bolts, and their associated tools. They work very much like Allen screws, but instead of an internal hexagonal shape, Torx use a star shaped interface. The star shape can transmit more power than the hexagonal shape, protecting the user from stripping the bolt/screwheads.

Just like Allen keys, Torx comes in several sizes, with T40 being one of them.
