Roberson screws are by far the most superior. I don't understand why any company would manufacturer anything else.

Which one? I have 15, 20, 25, and sometimes 30 in my pouch. I can almost tell them apart by eye these days....

Torx are lovely, but nothing beats a Robbie 90% of the time.

I've never heard of seen Robersons. I had to search online. Is it the square ones?

I'm personally a huge fan of hex sockets. I've had torx bits snap and twist before. Don't think I have had problems with a hex.

I've rounded more hex screws than I've successfully unthreaded. I've had way less issues with torx screws.
