    It's OK, Pete, settle down. Don't have an accident. It's clear that you must have got a splinter in your nutsuck today, and now you're taking it out on the other trades, engineers, Americans, and anybody within a wild swing's reach. when you get home, have mommy pull it out with tweezers and put the special Sponge Bob band aid on it and kiss it better, then fuck off.

    Such Harsh words, just because, the rest of the world does not conform to Canadian screw heads. I do agree the Robertson"s head are easier to use then the slot screw heads. One of the main reasons there not used widespread because Robertson, refused to license the patent to several companies for manufactoring.

    Couldnt agree more. Was a cabinet maker for a awhile. When we used the cheap slides they come with slot screws. Always through them out and use robertson. Have a huge screw box filled with different robertsons just incase i need new screws. They always have shitty threads too. Like my threads with some girth :D

    I went into Lowes in Phoenix a while back and asked somebody where they kept the robertsons. They looked at me weird and said we dont have any here. Straight out ignorance.

    actually its aircrafts' asses, since it's plural form of aircrafts. It's not just one aircraft, but many aircrafts, whose asses are being kicked

    Edit: I stand correct it's aircraft's asses, yeah okay well fuck canada. We might have slotted screws but we also have the stanley cup so....
