<div>Robertson screws are apparently a Canadian invention, and for
some inane reason, they have never caught on south of the border,
despite being a superior screw - no pun intended. If you can't find
the right screw or screwdriver, get in touch with any Canadian
hardware store.</div>

<blockquote>These are a "Robertson" screw with a finishing
washer. Robertson bits (and screw drivers) are available at most
"home inmprovement" warehouse places - Home Depot, Lowes,
Builders Square, etc. and any good hardware store. They are
still used in deck & furniture construction.<br>
