  6. Robertsons are wayyyy better than Phillips. I am fond of those old triangular heads as well but I haven't seen them in 2 decades.

  8. This is the perfect opportunity for you to bring the change yourself. Import Robertsons then sell them on amazon and local stores as non-slip screws/drivers.

  15. I like Torx also, but they seem better as machine screws rather than wood.

  16. Only downside to torx is locating them vs a Robertson because of the lack of taper. But then you have more angles which is nice... though for a screw it's less of an issue than a wrench.

  17. They should make another move to sell robertsons to construction companies and handymen in the US. The amount of wasted time, screws, bits, and needless stress would be bound to lead people to the alternative, robertson.
