Too bad ol' Robertson refused to license 'em to people such as Henry Ford. Otherwise we'd probably never have heard of Phillips head screws...
Yup!

Never, ever drool on your surf shirt. It wrecks the solo.

The only thing that's better (depending) is Torx drive. They can generally handle a higher torque load and are easier to insert/remove the bit in manufacturing operations where speed matters since the bit doesn't ever get "stuck" in the recess. Of course, if you are relying on that handy design feature of Robertsons to stay on the bit for one handed usage, Torx just won't cut it. Then you can use TTAP drives, which do stay on, but a standard Torx bit will work with them as well. But that's probably WAY too much TechnoNerd info, huh?

I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...
