Torx Drive is a type of screw drive characterized by a star-shaped pattern with six points. This design allows for better grip and torque transfer compared to traditional screw heads, reducing the risk of stripping. It is commonly used in various applications, including automotive and electronics, where a secure fit is essential. The Torx system was developed in the 1960s and has since become popular due to its efficiency and reliability. Tools designed for Torx screws include wrenches and bits that fit snugly into the screw head, making assembly and disassembly easier and more effective.
