  That’s right, it goes in the square hole.

  Fun fact: There are plenty of times a screw that looks like a Philips head is also compatible with a square drive. I’ve mostly seen this on electrical outlets and Ikea furniture.

  I don’t know why Robertson/square drives aren’t more common. They’re stable and they resist stripping and rounding.

  Robertson is the proto-torxs. It is a vast improvement over Phillips but has a tendency to snap the head off due to the increased amount of torque you can apply. Torxs maintains the amount of torque that a Robertson can apply, but adds some material back to the head giving it a little extra strength.
  It’s really unfortunate that the greed of Robertson and Ford got in the way of such a vastly superior design.

    That much of material is not much of material.
