And the few times I have done it, its been a hassle. I own my shop, so making a run to Sears (15 miles away) is rarely possible for me. I have a shop, so it is convenient for me to have someone come by every week, fix whats broken, etc. You need decent credit to be able to pay them $20 for a $300 tool and walk away with it that day and make payments on it. The truck is here every week and they have a "no questions asked" warranty.Īnother big reason is they're pretty good tools. One of the big reasons I buy Snap-On is convenience. The up side to that is that it reports on my credit report. I had to fill out an application and go through an approval process. My Snap-On account is like any other loan I've ever gotten. I woudn't want a nice over and under shotgun with torx fasteners, so the firearms companies must be listening to their customers. Torx are a way to get the torque of a slotted head screw with the fast assembly time of a philips type fastener. The torx fasteners were to keep people out of their own computers, as Apple is noted for STILL doing.
BEHOLDER 2 CANT GET SCREWDRIVER CRACKER
As for new/better, the first torx bit tool I had was called a Mac Cracker back in '85 or so, because the original 128K Mac's had deeply inset torx fasteners. Hex and torx fasteners are used on firearms components, especially scope rings and other attached items. It bugs me my CZ 75 has philips screws in the grip - and they come loose! Fasteners on a car are very different from fasteners on a firearm, even a modern mass produced firearm. If you look at a lot of old firearms, you can see what was done by mechanics tools.Īutomobiles are made to be mass produced and assembled with power tools or by robots. You can put more torque into a slot bladed screw than a philips, which is why you want a hollow ground blade - so you don't bugger up the screws.
