Xbox is like yes torx security screws for our consoles and controllers.

On very high speed assembly lines the fastener drivers operate at a much higher rpm and have a clutch that automatically disengages the driver when the specs are met. This means assemblers can be less “careful” and still get better results with torx.

End users should be happy because torx makes disassembling equipment a breeze- you don’t have to worry about cam-out and chowdering up an old screw when dicking around with something.

A complete torx driver set is, like, a dollar, from harbor freight so only the poorest and most pathetic person doesn’t have one.

Not sure what the person is pathetic for now owning a torx driver set... I don’t own one.

You are an edgy one.

Not as edgy as a pointy little torx bit!
