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.



Most electrical panels and circuit breakers are using screws that will
fit Robertson, Phillips and flat blade screw drivers. The combo screws
make it easy to work on the stuff.

....and that makes it too easy to strip the panel. DAMHIKT. :-(
