Silvan - give those square drive screws a try. Like crack... You'll be
hooked...
Their catalogs have useful information and looking at the Festool stuff is
fun.
Unaffordable, but fun.


As a canuck, I was brought up on Robertson screws (as they are called
round here). My dad (a finish carpenter) would use nothing else. Hell, I
didn't even know about others until a later age I think. When I found
out that people routinely use Philips screws in other countries I was
deeply shocked. It is senseless. A roberston screw is vastly superior to
a philips in convience and ease, especially if you need to get into a
tight spot. Put screw on end of driver, place where you wish to screw,
go to it. Much less chance of marring work from a slipping driver, no
stripped screws, no screws falling off the driver, etc etc.
