screwdrivers

I own one robertson driver and don't use it very often.
 
Did someone say screwdriver?

I use mine all the time.
Thought I had all the bits I ever needed.
Needed to take off a panel on my microwave.
It had Torx screws with security pins in the middle.
Don't remember where I found them but they were cheap lifesavers.
Then I had to remove a panel from my dishwasher, same bits.

Many of our British vehicles use Posidriv screws, not Phillips… It’s always frustrating when the posidriv screws have been mangled by POs who weren’t aware of the difference, or just didn’t have the correct screwdrivers. I love my posidriv screwdriver set!
A quick read about posidriv screws;
 
I have 55 year old Robertson drivers my father purchased when he lived in Toronto 55 years ago... and not a single Robertson screw, probably haven't been used in 54 years. If I get rid of them, I will need them within 24 hours.
maybe I can send you a few screws - just in case. (I suppose just in case you have a screw loose) :ROFLMAO:

One of the things I like the best about them is that the screwdrivers are also colour coded. Small - large = yellow - green - red - black. Things like electrical boxes are all robertson here, so much easier to use.
