I'm sorry, calling Robertson "square" is insulting to a superior screw design and fuck you for even pretending it isn't.

6 "lobe" is torx too. Nobody calls Allen bolts hexagon either.

[-] finalarbiter@lemmy.world 18 points 7 months ago

I don't think I've ever heard that fastener called an Allen bolt, just the tool (Allen key). I've generally heard them called hex sockets heads. Maybe it's a regional thing?

Allen is a brand name, they’re hex keys/wrenches

Positive affirmation 🥰🥰

[-] fayoh@sopuli.xyz 2 points 7 months ago

Fun fact speaking of regional things, in Swedish they are called "insex" (as in six on the inside)

[-] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 4 points 7 months ago

In Dutch they are called "inbus", which apparently comes from the German name "Innensechskantschraube Bauer und Schaurte", where Innensechskantschraube means inside six sided screw and Bauer und Schaurte is the company who patented the screw type.

I have no idea how the name inbus came to be

[-] Olmai@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Innensechskantschraube Bauer und Schaurte probably

[-] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 1 points 7 months ago

Well yeah but still, who would think of that?

[-] bane_killgrind@kbin.social 1 points 7 months ago
[-] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 1 points 7 months ago

But the german name is just innensechskant

[-] bane_killgrind@kbin.social 1 points 7 months ago

Maybe, I do hear hex a bunch
