guilty as sin, and I am twice as fuglyPassing 10 cords of wood on the ground to look for the biggest tree in the woods to cut to justify the $1500 saw and 42” bar and chain you just bought.

Guilty! I must admit I pull the boot straight back / off the plug without twisting it! Didn’t know there was an alternative!Weekend wood warrior uses saw for the first time since last year. Stale fuel in it. Wont start. Goes to check plug and rip's the terminal off the wire and out of the boot. (Twist it dumdum)
Stuffs it back in, disconnected and never says a word.
That just happened to me this week. It was a Chinese coilwire, but I put it back on and it still works.Weekend wood warrior uses saw for the first time since last year. Stale fuel in it. Wont start. Goes to check plug and rip's the terminal off the wire and out of the boot. (Twist it dumdum)

They were the biggest PITA before I got the tool to screw and unscrew them, after I loved them as they don’t seem to round like a philips, I go friggin when I have to deal with a philips that has been rounded (never my fault obviously!!!! )Pet peeves?
OH YA!
TORX FASTENERS.
Hate them. Ridiculous junk.
Phillips are junk too!

I don’t think there is a type of fastener that I Haven’t had trouble with at some point in my life. Phillips are among my most Hated, still prefer Torx over Allen Head or square drive.
I am Curious, in an application where a Torx would be used, What would you prefer instead?

Couldn’t agree more with the last sentence! That’s a great way to mess the bolt up!As far as I am concerned, Torx is king with regard to insertion and lack of slipping or rounding out. Having said that, I keep a dental pick by my side to dig out all the oil packed sawdust.
