wood screw tool

Most of the wood panels in my Skyline Nomad use wood screws with a "square" socket head. Does anyone know where I can find the correct bit or driver for them? CW hadn't a clue.
Thanks

  • One of the few tools Canadians can call their own. Robertson tapered squared hole screws ( three sizes ) are the best and the only kind I will use. Any straight screw or cheap Phillips screw that comes with any item we buy, goes in the garbage.
  • I bought a set of hex shaft bits that had torx, allen, metric allen and the square drive bits for under $10 at Harbor Freight. I keep it in my Milwaukee screwdriver case.
  • Just about any hardware store has them. The bits are cheap to buy and will tend to get lost easily too so pick up a couple...

    Funny, the OP said Camping World didn't have a clue? 2 plus 2 = 4 you know!

    Check Lowe's or Home Depot, or even ACE hardware. I have a screw driver socket set dedicated for nothing but this #2 square head. I keep it in the camper. It's the only place I use it. Got it from Lowes years ago.


    Camping World often doesn't "have a clue". :)

  • Home depot, Lowes, Meynards, Walmart??, Sears. BigK, Amazon, Any where that carries tools. It is a common tool, NOT just an RV or camper item. Any good screwdriver assortment will have several. Comes in at least three sizes, 1p,2p,3p.
  • Those tools are very common.
    Can't remember where I got mine.
    Good suggestions above.

  • #2 square or Robertson- known as square in US, Robertson in Canada. Most big box home centers and Ace hardware carry them.
