Robinson bits

I've only had a little bit of experience with what I thought were just
called "square drive" screws. I think that their greatest asset, that
it's nearly impossible to have a power driver bit slip out or strip the
head, can also be a minor drawback. They hold the bit SO well that
they tend to pull it out of the magnetic bit holder in my drill. I
suppose if I just got separate (longer) bits that go into the chuck
directly I wouldn't have this problem. With today's keyless chucks that
might not be such a bad thing, I suppose.

I usually use phillips. With the aforementioned magnetic bit holder I
find it pretty easy to start them at any angle also. Their lesser
bit-holding ability only becomes a drawback where there is a great deal
of resistance to turning the screw. Maybe next time I buy drywall
screws I'll get the really long ones in square drive.

Except, of course, for the size you urgently need now.

They are 'robertson' bits...invented by a scotsman that emmigrated to
canada. not widely used in states because that sob nation is busy looking
for third world nations to attack and steal oil from.
Hey, maybe sadam hid those WMD in vaults sealed with robertson head
screws????
LOL, loyal canadians are wise to american imperialism.

Actually, it's not so much imperialism as capitalism. We're secretly
plotting to let your economy continue as it is now for another ten
years, then we'll step in and buy the whole country for $89 U.S.

Of course, maybe y'all will beat us to the punch with your secret plot
to reduce us to confusion by absorbing all our liberals, eh?

I know you're just a troll baiting a flame war, but I can't resist...
apologies in advance to all US non-trolls, please disregard.

Have you looked at the US debt per capita lately and compared it to
Canada's? In a few years "y'all" be lucky to afford a double-double at the
local Tim's in downtown Little Rock. But by then Bin Laden will have
resurfaced and will be running for Governor of Kansas, so who knows.
