Perhaps the word screwdriver would be as defunct as the original name turnscrew, and we would all now be calling them Robbies!<br /><br />I first encountered them through Kreg, and I must admit, I thought it was just a way to ensure that people kept buying their screws. It's refreshing to find out that they are in fact commonplace - albeit only in Canada - and have just been chosen because they are the best tool for the job.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16318609298794308615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3841543812574325787.post-87409330998049441022012-04-25T13:56:47.599+01:002012-04-25T13:56:47.599+01:00Great post...

Here in Canada it's hard not to find something that doesn't have robertson screws in it.When you ask someone to pass you a screwdriver here, you either ask for a red "robbie" or a green "robbie", or maybe a black one, depending on the size you needed.I have never seen an electrical device, or box, that doesn't use robbies. Up here they're like an institution.<br /><br /> Danny G Toronto<br /> CanadaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
