What's wrong with Torx? Better than phillips innit?
Nothing wrong if you have the drivers, but if you find yourself in a pinch, they aren't prevalent like Philips or standard screwdrivers. A socket set is part of our emergency kit now.
Extracting a stripped Phillips is way worse than running to the store for a set of torx bits haha
Should have always been. Torx is far superior, less chance of stripping.
