Default screws and screwdrivers

Yes, but what happens when you try to *remove* a screw from wood that's past
its best? You have to push axially onto a screw with a cross-head bit - with
the result that the screw simply rotates but doesn't actually come out.
Whereas with a torx screw, you can rotate it without pressing on it - so it
comes out easily.


What's a rusty torx screw like to get out?
