OT: Construction question/US-Canada content

[johncworden at verizon.net (John C. Worden)]

Since I am in the hardware business, I do have some knowledge here.
It seems that with most homeowners building their own decks are using
Phillips or a square drive Phillips(aka DeckMate), which are pretty cool
actually-more resistant to stripping and snapping.  Up my way the only
Robertsons are stainless deck screws.  The pro guys (Contractors and
builders) are crazy about  the Torx headed deck screws.
