I've asked before and got no good answer. Doesn't ANYBODY make a good
quality hardened phillips driver bit for power drivers for screwing
phillips head deck, etc, screws?

I buy the boxes of DeWalt's and have pretty good luck. But I'm moving
to square drive from McFeely's and buying their bits. That and an
impact driver makes a world of difference.

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.

Yes, I found that out in the 60's doing appliance repair on washers and
dryers that were brought in from Canada. Had to make a driver to get them
apart. Replaced screws with hex head that was used
on American brands. ww
