Construction question/US-Canada content

[marc at getty.net (Marc Getty)]

If I have to look it up on Wikipedia to see what you are talking about, it
is DEFINITELY obscure! Back in the early 90s I built a huge number of decks,
all with either nails or philips head screws. Never once did I see "the
underrated Canadian invention, the Robertson screwdriver" (See:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Good_Turn>). Not once.

Here at work we use pin-in-torx and pin-in-hex for everything (we don't do
decks, just $4000 to $6000 podiums).

Around here, midwest I always use Torx or Robertson. Any good hardware store
carries them.
