(quoted from post at 01:59:50 09/07/23) Once out junk then use regular bolts with hex heads so regular sockets fit I hate torx junk and all those other stupid types of so-called fasteners. Most are a one way use deal once in never to be reused since you can't get them out if they set as long as most regular bolts do.

Can't do that if you work at or own a legitimate auto repair shop. The type and grade of fasteners that come out must go back in.


The problem is. .
90% of people working on a car will just up and grab a Torx bit and proceed to destroy the fasteners and call them junk.

10% of the people working on a car will know that the fasteners are called "triple square" and it takes a triple square bit to remove them without damage.

Torx and Triple Square fasteners are not the same.

Oh great just what we need. Another fastening system to cost more in tools and annoy us.
