    Honestly never heard of a Robertson, pretty sure if have those bits though, and they're useless.

    Flatheads don't really bother me much, although I'm not a fan of them. I don't see what is wrong with Phillips though. Torx over "Canadian" all day err' day.

    we are a strong society, and have plenty of power in our bodys to twist a little screw driver. One day, with lots of working out, and eating right, you too may have strength above and beyond your average house cats.....
