To My Canadian Friends...
"Shortwave Sportfishing" wrote in message ... Torx I can understand - there's more surface area to grab hold of and you get a damn good set with torx plus you never wear the damn bits out. And a proper phillips will set a wood scew if you use the proper size bit and you never have to worry about the damn things wearing out. With the Robertson screw, the damn heads of the bits round off at the corners when you are doing a lot of screws like a deck for example and you go through bits like water. Plus the damn things twist once they wear and slip like a bitch - I damn near drove a bit through the palm of my hand once because of that crappy design. Robertson screws suck. You must have been using a cheap screwdriver and screws or you were using the wrong size bit. With the proper Robertson screws for the deck, and with a proper hardened tip screwdriver, you could do a couple of hundred decks with no problem. A proper Robertson has a tapered bit to fit the screw tightly. Jim |
