wood screw tool

[nomadnewby]

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

If I was younger and didn't have a good job I would move to Canada. I am thinking about visiting Manitoba this year because it is so close to me. But, I am having a hard time finding campgrounds south of Winnipeg which is where I want to go.

I just googled "campgrounds in southern manitoba " and found alot of them...

Pesky Canadians! ... where would the world be without us and all our good stuff like the Robertson screw?! :W

And now a bunch are starting to think aboot moving to Canadia.

In fact there are 6 Robertson head sizes.

I always found the coloued screw drivers interesting. But I've never owned a set. I own 6 different Snap-On ratcheting screwdrivers with magnetic holders. The bits are in holders and I know which one I need, at a glance....WHATEVER the style. Coloured screw drivers....once worn the whole thing is garbage.

And I could kiss a cod. Yep, Newfoundland is definitely on the list.

Nah, but if your "environs" include Newfoundland (which should not be missed! :B ) you do get free Screech. :W

You left out JIS screws, the phillips looking screws that usually have a little dot on the head that are used on computers and electronics.

[Durb]

Much of Phillips screws disdain comes from using the wrong or poor quality screwdrivers. Both Reed and Prince (Frearson) and Posidriv look like Phillips but the drivers are not interchangeable and will give frustrating results. Use a high quality screwdriver from a manufacturer that adheres to Phillips specifications and you will be happy. Try to stay away from cheap screwdrivers with profilated tips. Anti-camout ribs on a Phillips are a huge plus. I replaced all of my Robertson screws (over 600) on my trailer with SS Phillips screws.

Buy 2 sets. One for the RV and one for home.

I have a little driver set that I bought through one of the tool suppliers at work many years ago (I was a machinist for 33 years), and it has bits for just about any type of screw. I paid $25 for it, and I've gotten my money's worth many times over. I've looked to see if it's available anywhere online, and never found anything quite like it.

Given my druthers, I'll take Torx head screws over any others. They seem to be harder to strip the drive head than any others, including square. Phillips head screws are awful. If I had to replace any screws, it would be with Torx.
