    For hex yes, for Torx no. Your smartphone’s itty bitty screws are quite possibly T4 or similar.

      Torx is more resilient to over-torsion than Hex, but both of them will end near the end of the list on that one metric, with slot first, and way ahead of anything else.

      Despite what the Torx publicity says, engineering is done over a multitude of dimensions, and that one dimension Torx wins may not be nearly as important as some other random one.
