My doubts were always whether the same or almost the same couldn’t be said about “inbus” (I don’t know the proper English name for that but it’s like inverted hexagon head - a hexagonal socket), which was already well established but I tend to believe that Torx allows even more torque than “inbus”. Definitely beyond the range of PH or PZ. -- SD! Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2014-04-23 16:05:36
