What's your favourite screwdriver?

[HEyHEY]

Poll question: What's your favourite screwdriver?

Was just watching a show on screwdrivers.

[CanuckAmok]

1. Robertson, eh.

Do I need to 'splain?

[HEyHEY]

3. yes, twill be interesting to see who knows the mighty robertson n/t

[Lostmessage]

2. I like the one they serve at Trader Vic's

But if I had to choose it would be a Phillips.

[CanuckAmok]

4. Nobody will pick "slotted"

They suck. How many times have you had the blade slip out of the screw, and scratch the finished surface?

Oh, Christ, I'm channeling Bob Vila!

[HEyHEY]

5. As long as

You aren't channeling that Bob Vila look-a-like on the Canadian tire ads. That guy looks crazy though too.

[CanuckAmok]

6. I thought that was Bob Vila!

Mrs. Amok bought me a set of those Craftsman stripped-screw removers because Bob Vila endorsed them.

They are the best invention ever.

[HEyHEY]

7. Nope, that ain't Bob

But they want you to think it is!

Y'know. The power drill. :evilgrin:

[HEyHEY]

9. Does electricyt work at your altitude?

;-)

[Robb]

16. I know, I know.

I've become my own version of that bad Kerry joke.

"I had no idea Kerry was in the military."
"I had no idea Robb lived in the freakin' stratosphere." ;)

[GAspnes]

10. Torx

Must not have been a very complete show.

[HEyHEY]

11. No I just completely forgot about them

badoom cha!

[Rabrrrrrr]

12. The Allen Wrench

Yeah, it's called a wrench, but it isn't a wrench, and they're used for driving screws

Also the Torx

And that extra-special screwdriver that's needed to drive the unique screws that nintendo uses.

[Deja Q]

13. I like the sonic screwdriver...

:evilgrin:

[Arugula Latte]

14. With polls like these to pass our time...

...how can anyone say we're frittering our lives away?

[brook]

15. How come...

you left off my favorite? Orange juice and vodka.

[Waistdeep]

25. I prefer

Milk of Magnesia and Vodka --- A Phillips Screwdriver B-)

[BigDaddyLove]

17. Vodka and Orangejuice......

mostly.

[ironflange]

18. I'm glad you asked this question, HEy

The Phillips screw is the ABSOLUTE WORST EXAMPLE of AMERICAN IMPERIALISM to ever be foisted upon the innocent world!! Those damn things won't hold on to the driver, get stripped so fucking easily, I HATE THEM I HATE THEM I HATE THEM! I only use Robertsons if I can help it. The deck, shed, and fence I've done the past couple of years have only Robs in them; not even a nail.

Robertsons are the greatest invention in history, Phillipses one of the worst.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity for this rant.

[BigDaddyLove]

20. Geez...........

I never knew there was that much of a difference.

[CanuckAmok]

24. Apples and oranges, my unenlightened friend...

..apples and oranges.

[mykpart]

19. What's a Robertson?

[AntiCoup2K4]

21. A fucking crazy televangelist & right wing hate funder who believes...

..God tells him who will win elections.

[ironflange]

23. Square socket head screws

Driver head won't hop out, very rarely strips, and if it does you can still back it out. You can stick a screw on the driver and it won't fall off. It's really big in Canada, in fact, Philips screws can be hard to find here, everything is Robertson, except for wallboard screws. Robertson wallboard screws grip so tight that it's too easy to go in too far, so they stopped selling them.
