    We all learned what a phillips is, so we can learn what a robertson is.

    But, yeah, most of us need a reminder for now.

      Except apparently Robertson isn’t used anymore.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robertson_screw

      The contemporary square-drive screw has all but replaced the Robertson screw proper and is commonly referred to as a Robertson because it has practically identical drive dimensions and the same colour identification system, but the contemporary square drive socket has parallel sides rather than tapered.

      So it is a square drive, not Robertson.
