Anyways as I said, I think the ideas behind torx are based on bullcrap. With a light hand and some skill you will likely never strip a good allen bolt and/or overtighten.

I have had more than enough problems with torx to hate them.
"Light Hand"????

The purpose of Torx is being able to torque something enough to the point where it won't come loose without either damaging the tool or the screw head.

Torx just plain does NOT strip.
