What type of screw head is this?

[rlw]

Torx I imagine, but I'm not sure. It is tiny.....

[InitialDave]

Looks like a 6-lobe/Torx, yes.

[OutInTheShed]

Looks like a torx that might have had a hard life?

[Richard-390a0]

Looks like Torx to me too.

[R6tty]

I think it's a star.

[R6tty]

I'd have to venture out to the shed to confirm. I'm sure it's not a torx.

[Mr Pointy]

looks like Torx. My T5 driver measures only 1.2mm across the lobes.

I’ll go with Torx, a more blurry photo may help though…

"Torx" is actually a trademark. "Star" is a generic term for "bits of that sort of shape" but star bits are not actually standardised unless they are Torx licensed, if that makes sense. So that is a star bit which might or might not be Torx, but a Torx driver almost certainly work.

Could it be a 'fluted'? 6 flutes?...

Or a Torx thats had a hard life perhaps

Does look like a torx head previously owned by someone who only had a hex fitting to hand?

At the moment it looks like a slightly too large Allen key and a hammer to me…for its final unscrewing before I replaced it.
