Good phillips driver bit
It only took you guys 100 years to catch on to the "Robertson" screw and
driver (you guys call them square drive). I guess it will only be
another 70 years or so before you move fully to the metric system. :-)
The Robertson Screw Driver was invented in 1908 and has been well used
in Canada for decades.
-----------------
Robertson Screw driver was invented 10 miles down the road from me. They
named a school after him and the Robertson Corporation is still around in
Milton.
HOWEVER, the square head screw was indeed invented by a Yankee, 15 years
before the Canuck version, in New York City. Robertson's screw worked
because he figured out a good manufacturing process. The American screw
head was a failure and that's why the Yanks used Phillips
