Yeah, Torx sockets.... I hate them too. Especially the hollow tip "tamper resistant" ones, where they snap off at 8 in. lbs.... Just broke a Snap On 30Torx tightening an air bag retainer yesterday.
And the idiots who design with them. Brake rotors (or drums) held on to the damned car with Torx with Loctite. (Or even #3 philips.) I know it's for ease of assembly at the factory, but couldn't these idiots do what we all do to hold the rotor on while we put the anchor over it and put the pads in place and that's use a freakin' wheel nut? 'Cause it sure as hell doesn't work to keep the rotors from warping. Might as well figuring on keeping a couple of Torx bits the same size in the tool box cause they ain't coming out of the hub without an impact, hand or air. Even then some won't move without melting the loctite first.
Or the idiots who designed the Ford truck boxes to be held on with a size 60 "super" Torx. Still loctited in, still need an impact to move 'em. Still gonna send pieces flying all over the shop.
