Not too long ago, I released a video on the subject of lousy screws, and how I thought Robertson screws were far superior:    • Robertson Screws Rule // Robertson -vs- Ph...  

That was just a fun little joke video where I vented some of my frustrations with lousy screws. However, I received a number of fairly serious comments and a number of people challenged me to check out Torx screws.

So in this video I do just that. I picked up a few boxes of GRK torx screws and put them through their paces.

THIS IS NOT A DETAILED IN-DEPTH REVIEW. To do justice to a full deep review would take many days and thousands of screws. This is just my initial thoughts and first impressions.

Bottom line? GRK makes a fine product, but I think a lot has to do with their thread design. I’d like to see those aggressive self-tapping threads on a Robertson screw. Still, I freely admit that these torx screws are pretty good, probably equivalent to my beloved Robertson.

Just say NO to lousy screws.
