How are Torx sizes measured?
Sizing. Torx head sizes are described using the capital letter “T” followed by a number ranging from T1 to T100. A smaller number corresponds to a smaller point-to-point dimension of the screw head (diameter of circle circumscribed on the cross-section of the tip of the screw driver).
