![]() The main difference between a regular Torx and a Secure Torx screw is the additional security pin in the center of the screw head.Īs a result, you cannot use a standard 6-point Torx screwdriver on a Secure Torx screw.īoth Standard Torx and Secure Torx have several types. Other names are Tamper Resistant Torx, Tamper Proof Torx, Pin-in Torx and 6 Lobe Pin Torx. There is a variation of the Torx known as Security Torx. They are similar to Nuts and Sockets where the bit or socket goes on top of the screw or nut. There is also a Torx with a reverse design. The regular Torx drive is known as Internal Torx where we insert the bit into the screw head. Both the Torx screws and the screwdrivers can last longer than other drive types. The design of the Torx head prevents this cam-out and thereby causes less damage to head.Įven if you apply a higher torque than the limit on a Torx screw, it will not damage the screw head or the bit itself. It is a process where the screwdriver driver slips out of the screwhead if the torque exceeds a limit. One common problem with flat-head and Phillips is cam-out. ![]() Since the expiry, several manufacturers started producing Torx bits. The generic name for such screw and drives is Star while the popular name Torx is a trademark of Camcar Textron. As a result, many started calling it a Star Screw. The main characteristic of this drive is its 6-point pattern that looks like a star-shaped pattern. ![]() Camcar Textron trademarked a special screw drive with the name Torx.
