I too received their new catalog and nearly fell over when I saw the
Torx head being touted as the next generation. I have had nothing
but problems with Torx screws and in fact, any time I have to remove
one, I'm sure to replace with something else. I know it's not
woodworking but my Jeep is covered in them. Eveytime I have to
remove one, I end up having to get creative such as drilling it out,
welding a nut to it, etc... I'm slowly getting rid of them all.
I'll stick with the square drive for strong holding applications and
standard phillips for those less than important locations.

I've also had many problems with Torx head screws. Part of it seems to
be never having the right size bit to turn the dumb thing. If it's not
JUST right, you run the risk of spinning the bit.

Give me a good Phillips head any day.
