They offer a virtually stress free fixing, allowing close to edge applications. They are through-fixing, eliminating the need for marking and re-positioning when fixing batons etc. The Torx head of the screw enables increased torque control.
APPLICATION:
Extremely popular fixing for window and door frames. Also now used as a versatile fixing for many applications in DIY, Joinery, Plumbing and Electrical trades.
By design, TORX head screws resist cam-out much better than Phillips or Slotted screws. Where Phillips heads were designed to cause the driver to cam out, to prevent over-tightening, TORX heads were designed to prevent it and to achieve a desired torque consistently. TORX head sizes are described using the capital letter 'T', followed by a number. A smaller number corresponds to a smaller point-to-point dimension of the screw head. Only the proper driver can drive a specific head size without risk of ruining the driver or screw.
