Maybe, I only work with high tensile stuff and occasionally stainless, so I've never had issues with hex heads (that weren't caused by misuse)

That's more of a tapping motion for me, but everyone has different needs and who am I to judge?

The flipside to that is when you've got a JIS driver and when you're done it doesn't want to let go of the screw. Very satisfying, possibly sexual.

For me, it's how the key feels in the head. It doesn't go in far enough that you can let the key just sit there on it's own like with a hex head.

I find Torx unpleasant to work with.

I appreciate your passion for the superior type of fastener. I work in both metric and imperial for all types of fastener and metric allen is the easiest to work with in my opinion.

There are not too many metric hex sizes.

There are too many imperial sizes, many of which have silly names.

Having cut the head off many rounded bolts I question your judgement.

That is a most excellent pun. Thank you.

Anyone who didn't feel this scene has no heart!
