As someone who owned a Jeep in a place where they salt the roads in the winter. Fuck torx.

That being said no other screw head would have been any better, and maybe it was just a cheap torx socket (you could see I had actually twisted the whole head on the tool, before stripping the screw). A hex bolt for that particular application would have been much easier to remove (or snap the head off :p)

Applications exposed to corosion really should use external drive fasteners.

I wonder if there are fasteners and sockets that have both. I imagine hex + torx would handle a lot of torque
