OK, so I'm fixing the deck today and I got a box of these GD SS
screws. $14/lb..... and I must have stripped out the heads of 6-7
already....
POS..... gimme Torx or SOMETHING.....
You know, I can't remember EVER stripping a Robertson screw. Maybe you
should have spent the $14 on a decent screwdriver?

I've never done so either. I'm wondering if maybe he was using the small size
bit on the large size screw. I *have* tried that, before I realized there were
two sizes!
But he seems to have his act together, so I didn't suggest that.
