You can get more torque on a torx than an Allen. They're basically the same shape, but torx has longer contacts on the star points where the hex corners would be.

Also, M1.5 hex is getting a little too close to a circle, and you can forget about going much smaller. M1.5 torx is still usable.

Also (for the same reasons) Torx heads don't have to be as deep for the same torque as an Allen. More space efficient.

I see. It makes sense when you say it.

Yet I only encounter torx on low-medium torque stuff. Applicances, not cars.
