Hey European & American friends who use tools and do building, repairs, DIY – are Robertson screws common in your area?

Are Robertson screwdrivers common in European toolboxes?

In Canada I suspect that 99% of people who have tools would have Robertson screwdrivers in their toolbox. At least the red & green (#2, #1) sizes. The more intrepid will have the yellow and black (#0, #3) sizes too.

Poll to follow…

@ottaross I’m in the US and had to look up what “Robertson” is… I call this “square drive”. Bad education, maybe. They seem to have become much more common, especially in carpentry.

@thinkling interesting. Yes they really shine for woodworking.
