> it seems the technically “superior” Phillips and Pozidrive that taken over in all joinery now. Robertson4Life.

  They definitely have the "meatest" torque-y feeling when you really get your elbow up high and crank into one... Super satisfying and something I wouldn't even dream of attempting with other bits!

  https://www.woodmagazine.com/wood-supplies/fasteners-hardware/what-are-robertson-screws https://www.woodmagazine.com/wood-supplies/fasteners-hardwar... First I heard of them. Looks like that, in a pinch, a flat-head driver could turn it ...

    Nope. It's a tapered square. One of the few driver bits where you can put a screw on the end of drill, then hang/swing the drill from the screw alone. A slotted driver will not work, at all. (I'm Canadian. Robertson is the most common driver type here, except for imported products.)

  It is the One True Screw, amen.

    Can I interest you in the Torah of Torx?
    • stan_rogers 5y ago
      Torx rather sucks in comparison. Sorry if the truth hurts.

        Still better than Phillips.

          most things are.
