I had no idea Robertson still existed. I received a box of them for free when they were [Edit] being pushed in the 80's and loved them. The screw would stay on the bit no matter what angle I held the drill which made putting screws into hard to reach places super easy. No need for magnetic bits or other tricks. The local stores only carry Phillips, Hex and Torx so I buy Torx for the smaller screws and Hex for the bigger fence post screws.
- titanomachy 4y agoYou received a box when they were first developed?? In 1906?
- LinuxBender 4y agoOh I guess not. It was a big promo and was pushed as if they were "a new thing" but it seems that must have been a marketing thing. This was in the 1980's. Thankyou for the clarification.
- doubled112 4y agoI don't know if I've ever seen a construction screw in Canada in anything other than Robertson. Drywall screws are Philips though.
- oplav 4y agoAll the pocket screws I’ve bought (mostly Kreg brand) have been Robertson. That’s the only time I really see them in the US.
