What kind of tool do I need? An allen key won't fit, it's kind of tapered inward
I'm trying to take the winch off my AtV because it jammed all to hell

Torx

You'll need a torx bit. also known as a star bit.

>Why not just life simple and use standard Philip's?
Socket head cap screws / Allen head (in SS with lock-nuts) are the only way to go, Philips is obsolete shit that easy strips out (especially considering the quality of Chinese production...)
>>997080
Torx like others said. And that looks like a T50 which Lowe's or Home Depot doesn't carry individually...at least where I live. Your local ACE Hardware may have one (my nearest ACE only has them in kits).

For tools and women, more surface area = less chance of stripping

phillips can't take that kind of force without stripping or popping out of the fastener.

Fugg

Because Philips is a terrible design. Was that even a serious question
>>997606
All because fucking Henry Ford had to jew out and didn't license the Robertson bit.
Pretty ironic for an antisemite.

if you ever worked on a mercedes you will have a whole range of these tools.

Have you worked on newer American cars? I'm seeing more and more of them. I bought a full set to work on my newest Ford. I need one just to work on my brakes.
anyone have the image of god-tier shit-tier head rankings?

The world's best screw, Torx.
>>997094
Torx is much better than Allen.
>>998225
And Torx doesn't have equally common metric and standard sizes which you need 30 bits to cover.

Henry Ford invented square head?

No Ford wanted it but he wanted to produce them himself so he could guarantee supply. Robertson refused to ever license again after being fucked over by some Brits so Ford went with Philips
>>998306
A Canadian invented the superior square head.
Ford was a cheap ass and didn't want to pay to use it, so he used the inferior Philips even though the low torque stripping was inappropriate for automobiles,
