Torx screws are designed to provide a higher level of security than other types of screws.
They are commonly used in applications where the screw needs to be tightened to a specific torque, or rotational force, such as in automotive and aerospace applications.
The unique shape of the Torx head, which is six-pointed and star-shaped, allows a tool with a matching tip, known as a Torx driver, to be used to tighten or loosen the screw.
This prevents the screw from being turned using a standard screwdriver,
which can help to prevent tampering or accidental loosening of the screw.
