About this deal
Sometimes referred to as the star drive due to its rounded 6-point star shape, the Torx drive is designed to function at higher torques and have a longer lifespan than other popular screwdriver types.
Apple uses Y-type screws to secure the battery on the 2010 and 2011 MacBook Pro, as well as an extremely small type in the Apple Watch, iPhone 7 and iPhone X. [87] [88] This style of screw is often called a "tri-wing", although that name more properly belongs to a different design (see below).Not very) fun fact: DIN stands for “Deutsches Institut fur Normung” (German Institute for Standardization).
Unlike JIS, the ISO 4757 standard for cross-head screws does not specify a dot on the screw head. [33] Phillips II [ edit ]Transactions of Technical Conference on Metric Mechanical Fasteners.

The goal of this article (and my research for it) was to help myself find a screwdriver that fits well and doesn’t cam-out. In other words: how can I tell, before trying (and buying), if a screwdriver will work properly with a bicycle, motorcycle and other cross-head screws? I put all the knowledge and experience that I have so far into this article (and made the brief video demonstration of the problem). Nothing more, nothing less. When I learn new things and get new information, I update my articles.I presume a PH0000 screwdriver is intended to drive #0000 screws, a PH000 screwdriver is intended to drive #000 screws, and a PH00 screwdriver is intended to drive #00 screws, as these seem to be the only screws smaller than #0 in the inch-based "numbered screw" system. There could be a #00000 screw, but it's less than one-hundredth of an inch wide and probably can't take much torque, and a #000000 screw would have a negative diameter, which is obviously impossible.

The risk of damaging the screw is lower because the bit less easily shoot from the head. Torx® know impressions in addition, a larger variation in the size of the bits. Due to the difficulty of turning these fasteners without specialized (and uncommon) five-point wrenches such as hydrant wrenches, they are commonly used for tamper resistance by public utilities on water meter covers, natural gas valves, electrical cabinets, and fire hydrants.
