Benefits of star (torx) drive

The torx drive's six-point star design makes for easy driving with minimal cam-out. The torx head also makes for better torque transfer as the driver is less likely to pop out as it does with more traditional traditional pozi drive screws. This makes it a preferred choice in decking, fencing and general woodworking project where the head is exposed as the finish looks better and becomes a feature in the work.
