    Square is called a Robertson and is the standard for construction in Canada. None of that bullshit Phillips trash.

      Not only the standard screw but a very effective head shape. The head is both self centring and can hold on the screw securely and without the use of magnets.

        I will die defending Robertson screw as a top contender. The rest of the world must learn our superior Canadian ways, by force if necessary.

          It’s 100% superior to anything else I’ve used. If you use a good quality screw driver or bit, they’ll NEVER strip, even using an impact driver.

      Lately I’ve seen a lot more Phillips Square, which is nice when you strip the fuck out of the Phillips head. Those are alright.

        Pozidrive is basically a Robertson and Phillips on top of each other.
