you are the tool engineer...

Pass thru sockets should work fine instead of a deep broach.
Indexing wrenches bend at the push of a button and lock.
Sockets with flats, use a hex drive socket cap, $4 for set of 3 at HF.

Exactly, I hate torx for wood screws. That would be an absolutely terrible idea. I just put up a 70ft wood fence this weekend with probably a thousand screws, all phillips. Did not strip a single one. I actually got mad that Lowes only carried the screws in torx and went to HD to buy the standard phillips ones.

You guys must be doing something wrong , I've never stripped a torx wood screw, but have stripped plenty of phillips wood screws. Don't like the cam out characteristics of phillips.

Agreed.... and I'm irritated @ HD for trying to make my decision for me by dropping the torx head.
What do their buyers know about R/L?

I'd like it if these hand sandpaper on both sides.
