I'm glad I stocked up on Robertson screwdrivers when I had the chance.

A screwdriver that refuses to cam out — a rare tool that respects the screw’s dignity. Robertson understood what many architects forget: the best mechanism is the one that survives its own use. A modest Canadian triumph of engineering. #Tools #Engineering
@mattblaze My parents gave me a birthday present of an assortment of Robertson head screws (I already had the screwdrivers).
@mattblaze oh no, am I going to be stuck rebuilding my deck with Freedom Flatblades?
@mattblaze we'll be remotely disabling them soon. Get your turns in now.
@mattblaze
Every Canadian estate sale will have a drawer entirely full of Robertson screwdrivers
@mattblaze What about the screws?
I'm still waiting for someone to make a Canadian Forces knife. Similar to Swiss Army, but with red and green Robertson blades.
@mattblaze Don’t worry bud. I’ll smuggle some across the border for ya.
@mattblaze you know your audience.
