I worked as a supervisor where my predecessor thought square/Robertson were superior without listening to the others who were used to torx. I very quickly changed back to using torx.

    Would you have let an employee continue to use Roberson if that was their preference?

    No. It was a scenic construction shop. Letting one person use a different standard would slow the process during break down or repairs. Having to remind the others to swap bits for one scenic piece or even on the same piece when it's controlled chaos at best is not worth it.

    Square/Robertson claims to have less slippage and less prone to rounding out. That's never held up in my experience. Torx has the same claims and outside of some user error, it's held up for me.

    Square/Robertson bits hold the fastener tightly so they don’t fall off when starting to drive them. Star/Torx doesn’t hold as well.
