Fun fact: Torx screwdrivers are compatible with Torx Plus screws, but Trox Plus screwdrivers are only compatible with Torx screws that are one size larger

    So square is a close second in terms of quality, while being vastly simpler and cheaper to manufacture. Seems to me like i'd prefer square.

    Also i'd be terrified of getting dirt in a torx screw, good luck cleaning it to make it usable again. Though i haven't actually had this problem personally so it's just a hunch

    I have torx all over my mountain bike that gets caked in dirt, a little bit of water and a pick gets them usable in seconds. I could argue that hex is superior to square but they're both worse than torx so who really cares.
