    If you’re having trouble with Torx, buy better screws and bits.

    Last year I needed to do some hardwood construction outdoors. On the advise of a carpenter I ordered some high quality stainless steel Torx screws online. They don’t sell these in the consumer-oriented DIY store. They were awesome, much harder than the cheap screws, that would easily bend when driven into hardwood, much sharper as well and if you buy a box of 100 or more it comes with a bit which fits perfectly. So much easier to use than the overpriced crap from the DIY store.

      Where are people buying shitty tor screws from? Walmart? Aldi?

      I’ve only bought them from supply houses or home depot/lowes, and deckmates are a pretty damn good brand.

        Karwei or Praxis. Especially their store brand is crap. Rotadrill screws are okay, but not as good as Spax, which they don’t sell.
