Hear, hear Glen,
True to the subject and to be clear, this is the
venerable Robertson screwdriver (and screws). In
my electrical apprenticeship days it was a red
Robbie or a green Robbie or a black Robbie. A
yellow Robbie was probably for girls.
I didn't hear about square drive screws until
reading about them (as the next greatest thing)
in WoodenBoat magazine... 1977. That's when I
learned they had numbers for it too.

Lowes sells them. I have a #1 and #2 that seem
to cover all the screws used on Imzadi.

The hinges on our ice box hatch and navigation
table top need tightening. They came OEM with
tiny Robertson (a/k/a square recess) screws I
am guessing a #3 screw but hard to tell. A
Google search indicates we would need a #0 or 00
size bit screwdriver. Not the sort of thing
your local hardware or big box store would
carry. Any thoughts on where we could look??
