I've broken drivers before I broke the screw! permalink fedilink source parent [–] yeah@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago Coming in clutch permalink fedilink source parent [–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Double hex and triple square just have to be just as bad as all the Phillips variants. I can't see that being a reliable shape for a screw permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] PastyWaterSnake@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago My GTI had triple-square bolts for the seats. The bolts were maybe 1/2" diameter, and I was able to comfortably get a lot of torque on them. Weird design though, and can't imagine it holding up on smaller, softer screws permalink fedilink source parent
