Robertson Screwdrivers??????

[ADSR]

Anyone know which Canadian company made this set for 6.19$? There is a canadian flag in the bottom right corner.

BNT in Mississauga.

And the $6.19 isn't for that set, it's for a single driver...

How about ball-headed Robertson profile drivers?

I've got the #2 and it has been really useful.

All this talk of 'licensing'. You guys realize the last patent Robertson owned expired in the 70s or something?

I encounter a lot of #1 in electrical fittings like switches, outlets and connectors. Most electrical screws are combo's of Phillips, slotted and Robertson. While these combo screws are a curse, and strip instantly with a Phillips driver, Robertson fits the best and delivers the most torque.

I've also been using a lot of fine thread trim screws lately, and those are also #1 Robbie.

I think licensing refers to the Robertson name, not the square-head design, at this point.

I've graduated to Torx (ala GRK and others) for screws, but Roberstons are still my second choice.

Here's most of my collection. Interestingly, the only #3 I own is part of a Snap-on lookalike set I bought back in the late '80s.
99% of the screws are #1 or #2 that I encounter. I find myself grabbing the Weras first now. Previously I liked the pale red one for #2 and the Fuller for #1.

What brand are those two red #2's, I have a purple one like that (forget what tip) and I keep finding them everywhere's. Made in Canada and Unbreakable Handle is all the markings I ever see on them, if they're the same as yours. Never found one branded.

Weird; it's working for me

I looked at the link for the picture and I found out it actually comes from Stuey at Toolguyd. So here, this is the link to his review from June, 2014: http://toolguyd.com/bondhus-ball-head-square-screwdrivers/


I bought my #2 from the local KMS Tools about 5 years ago. I thought it was pretty cool as I'd never seen a ball profile til' that day.

I have a set of Husky Robertsons that are pretty good. Made in Canada. I did notice that the newer stock of the Husky screwdrivers are not Made in Canada anymore. I have no use for any of the slotted in this particular line. For around the house I even break the slotted ones, but the robby's are pretty good.

 

[PowerGenGuy]

Lorddiesel I also have those drivers from the 90's, I still have them and use them daily, just the robby's. In the 90's those were the first CT robby's that I did not need to return to CT for exchange. I have not seen that style handle at my local CT in years, I do hope that it is back.

Both makers shopped at the "Canadian made unbreakable handle" store
The light coloured one has WILL 8-142 engraved on the one side.
I think the bright one is a Canadian Tire by the part number, but there's no markings that aren't in the picture.

They're both Will (which became BNT)...

That's good to know. I have the aforementioned purple one and I also came upon an orange one looking through my step father's stuff earlier. Always wondered what they were.

Just bought a set of the golden grips earlier this year, mostly for nostalgia since dad always had a set of them around the farm.
