Torx screws are screwing me over
#12
I bought a Wera bit, the ones I wanted were not in stock. I was surprised at how tight a fit it was, I actually tapped in the bit with my brass hammer. Worked great and all screws have been loossened and inserts turned 1/4. I did break 6 inserts out of 64 (that's +9% Yikes ), not exactly sure why they broke, I did not tighten them any more than the others. I ordered a pack of 10 inserts for $50. And now I need an inch pounds torque wrench to get them to 45-50 inch lbs.

I am going to get some new quality screws, the ones now seem like junk.
