*For non-Canadians, the "yellow" size of the the square-drive system is a very tiny one, the next steps upwards being green, red and black.

I've heard rumours of a size smaller than yellow, but those were only vague words spoken in the dark of night, in dimly lit alleyways.

#RobertsonScrew

Well that was an enjoyable 24hrs of feedback. 335 Mastodonians gave my #poll a click and many added some interesting and detailed feedback about the #RobertsonScrew drive system and the general awareness-of/access-to it around the world.

Still mostly in Canada, with some New Zealand/Aotearoa presence as well.

I know to use a Pozidriv or Phillips woodscrew for any items I might ship internationally, which is nice useful info.

#Thanks for the fun feedback.

Quite an interesting video. I hadn't actually heard of the #RobertsonScrew yet before, which apparently still is quite popular in Canada.
