Just call it hexalobular internal permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago Torx is a trademark for a type of screw drive characterized by a 6-point star-shaped pattern, developed in 1967 by Camcar Textron. A popular generic name for the drive is star, as in star screwdriver or star bits. The official generic name, standardized by the International Organization for Standardization as ISO 10664, is hexalobular internal. This is sometimes abbreviated in databases and catalogs as 6lobe (starting with the numeral 6, not the capital letter G). Torx Plus, Torx Paralobe and Torx ttap are improved head profiles. 6alobular brah 🤙 permalink fedilink source parent
