OTOH, Robertson drive fasteners are automatically held in place by the

Not the ones I've seen and had to remove. Every damn one of them was
sloppy, and I burnt up a bit about every six screws because they would
wear down the corners till they just spun in the screw heads.

You must have been using a No. 1 bit in a No. 2 fastener.

No, I wasn't. I used brand new #2 Robertson bits and burnt up over a
dozen of the things at $1.59 each. They were just crap screws.

I'm curious--were you using a drill, an impact driver, or a manual
screwdriver? I used to hate Robertsons, then I got an impact driver and
found that they suddenly became much more satisfactory.
