Stop Fighting Your Screws! Why Robertson Square Drive Screws Make Woodworking Easier

If you've ever been halfway through a woodworking project and had a screw slip off your driver bit, you'll know just how frustrating it can be.

You're holding two pieces of timber together, trying to keep everything lined up, and suddenly your screwdriver slips, the screw falls out, or worse, the screw head gets stripped.

Sound familiar?

At Screw it Screws, we believe woodworking should be enjoyable, not frustrating. That's why we're passionate about one simple solution: Robertson square drive screws.

What's So Special About a Square Drive Screw?

Unlike traditional Phillips head screws, Robertson screws feature a square-shaped recess in the screw head.

It might seem like a small difference, but it can make a huge improvement to your woodworking experience.

The square drive design allows the driver bit to fit securely into the screw head, providing excellent grip and reducing the chance of slipping.

And once you've experienced the difference, you'll wonder why you put up with anything else!

5 Reasons Woodworkers Love Robertson Screws

1. Less Slipping, More Driving

One of the biggest frustrations with Phillips head screws is cam-out. That's when your driver bit slips out of the screw head under pressure.

Robertson screws are designed to reduce this problem, giving you better control when driving screws into timber.

Less slipping means fewer damaged screw heads and less frustration.

2. Easier One-Handed Operation

Ever tried holding a piece of timber in position while also trying to start a screw?

With a correctly matched Robertson driver bit, the screw can grip the bit firmly enough to make one-handed positioning much easier.

It's especially handy when working inside cabinets, assembling furniture, or tackling awkward corners.

3. Great for Pocket Hole Joinery

If you enjoy pocket hole joinery, Robertson screws are a fantastic choice.

Pocket holes often require screws to be driven at an angle into confined spaces, making good driver engagement particularly important.

Our Robertson pocket hole screws are ideal for projects such as cabinets, shelving, furniture and workshop jigs.

4. Less Damage to Screw Heads

We've all experienced a screw head becoming damaged before the screw is fully installed.

Because Robertson bits engage securely with the square recess, they're less likely to slip and damage the head when used correctly.

This is particularly useful when you need to remove screws later to adjust or dismantle a project.

5. A Simple Upgrade to Your Workshop

You don't need expensive new equipment to start using Robertson screws.

All you need is a suitable square drive bit and the right screws for your project.

Whether you're a weekend DIY enthusiast or an experienced cabinetmaker, switching to Robertson screws is one of the simplest improvements you can make to your woodworking setup.

The Right Screw Makes All the Difference

Of course, choosing the right screw isn't just about the drive type.

You also need to consider the length, gauge, thread design and the material you're fastening.
