It was invented by an engineer at GM in the 60s who mistakenly thinks that you can apply more torque due to the larger surface area. The specific engineer needs to be taken out and beaten with his own miserable invention. I can list 5 people i talked to today alone that would line up and pay for a swing at the guy. i want to be at the front of the line.
Invented by Camcar Textron tools in 1967. ( Based on the British "Bristol " screw made in the 50's by Bristol Aircraft Co.)
Torx or Allen wrenches get more torque (pressure) on the bolt.
The Strongest Screwdriver: Torx Pro.---In improving the standard Torx, they identified that it had sharp edges, which meant that the very tips of the "star" shape of the Torx screwdriver were ultra-thin (of course, since it comes to a point, like the top of a triangle.) So, Torx Pro made the edges of the star rounded, and it has become the strongest screwdriver made.---------Some of the strongest screw drive shapes -- in no particular order -- are:hexagonal socket (Allen)square socket (Roberts)"hexalobular" socket (Torx, TTAP)external hexagonalexternal squareSome particularly weak screw drive shapes are:flat slotted (?)cross (Phillips, Frearson)spanner head, dual pin (?)The weak shapes are all too easy to strip the screw head or damage the driver or both.Yes, but which one is the strongest? Well I'll give my vote to TORX (hexagonal star) or the somewhat similar TTAP
