I would honestly go as far to say that if you don't own any torx sockets, you have probably never worked on your own german car.

My opinion on OP is changing from 'misinformed yet extremely arrogant 16 year old' to 'outright troll' very quickly.

Adjustable wrenches are great for stripping fasteners. They should almost never be used.
Oh, OK, thanks for the heads up.

I do have a backup tool, in case my adjustable wrench strips the fastener.

I've had torx sockets for my BMW bike over a decade.
Pretty unavoidable.
