OT: Robertson screws

VE3GAM Allen McRorie
the Robertson forever! (a square hole)

we Canadians like our Robertson screws, not sure if you have them in the
US or not but a screwdriver fits much better than in Phillips screws

I use mostly square head screws around the house and for wood-working
projects. They are great - no slips or messed up heads. And, you can
really apply some heavy-duty torque to them.

There are a few other kinds of heads also - I have most of the driver
sets - need them to take a modern car or tractor apart .... appliances
too. They are also non-jump (slip/strip). But, I prefer the square heads.
