I never knew that square looking driver had an actual name. Thanks for enlightening me. Sometimes at nearly 80 years old, I learn something new daily.

@Gus: My goodness, apparently some of the LOA folks missed my posts of a couple months ago on the history of the Robertson screw/driver. History of the Robertson screw and Henry Ford

Every Ford Model T was held together with 700 Robertson screws and if Henry had got his way the Robertson would have become the screw standard of the U.S.

The Robertson screw has long been a symbol of Canadian national pride for us Canadians of a mechanical inclination. We enjoy chuckling when, unbeknown to an unsuspecting new RV owner, have their first encounter with a "square" screw and exclaim "what the ......!".🇨🇦
