A Robertson screw is a type of screw that features a square-shaped socket in the head, designed to accommodate a square-shaped driver (or bit). It was invented by Canadian engineer Peter L. Robertson in the early 20th century. The square design helps to provide a better grip during driving, reducing the chance of slipping and stripping the screw head compared to traditional slotted or Phillips screws.
