minus-squareKptnAutismus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·7 months agopozidriv is pretty cool, but annoying to use since people confuse it with phillips all the time so you end up with a lot of stripped screws. torx is the way to go. their sizing is odd, but it transfers torque well and is wear-resistant.
minus-squareGrass@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·7 months agoDouble hex and triple square just have to be just as bad as all the Phillips variants. I can’t see that being a reliable shape for a screw
minus-squarePastyWaterSnake@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·7 months agoMy GTI had triple-square bolts for the seats. The bolts were maybe 1/2" diameter, and I was able to comfortably get a lot of torque on them. Weird design though, and can’t imagine it holding up on smaller, softer screws

Robertson obviously.
