I’m all for Torx head fasteners. They’re far better at minimising cam out than PZ or PH (and even hex) – assuming you use the right driver, which in the case of casual users is even less likely than with PZ and PH.

The problem with the UK supply of Torx head cap screws is that they’re generally only available in either stainless or grade 8.

Robertson ? I’ve only ever seen them in Canada, bought a screwdriver thinking they might spread but unused so far and that was 20 odd years ago.

And not BSW or BSF. What is the world coming to? 🙁
