    I hate anything all screwdriver type fasteners! slotted are by far the worst, a complete joke, phillips aren't much better. Torx are ok, not too bad. And the only kind that's worth a damned are triple square or xzn fasteners.

    Do you guys use Robertson screws in light switch covers?

    That would look pretty stupid.

    Could you picture a square screw in this? Of course it is Canada, so.....
