Why We Continue to Bring Genuine Quality Robertson Screws to Australia

When we started Screw it Screws, we knew we were entering a competitive market.

Today, there are countless screws available online and on hardware store shelves. Many look similar, and some are sold at prices that seem almost too good to be true.

So why do we continue to specialise in Robertson® square drive screws?

Because we believe Australian woodworkers, tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts deserve better than "good enough."

It's Not About Selling the Cheapest Screw

We're often asked why we don't simply source the cheapest screws available.

The answer is simple.

A screw is one of the smallest components in any project, but it's also one of the most important. If it strips, snaps or doesn't drive properly, it can waste time, damage your work and turn an enjoyable project into a frustrating one.

We've always believed that quality matters more than being the cheapest on the shelf.

We Believe in Robertson Square Drive

Anyone who has used Robertson screws knows why they're different.

The square drive offers:

  • Outstanding driver engagement

  • Less cam-out

  • Better control

  • Faster installation

  • Reduced wear on driver bits

Once you've experienced the difference, it's hard to go back.

That's why we chose to build our business around Robertson screws rather than offering every screw type available.

Supporting Australian Woodworkers

Australia has an incredible woodworking community.

Every day, people across the country are building:

  • Furniture

  • Cabinets

  • Decks

  • Pergolas

  • Garden projects

  • Workshops

  • Tiny homes

  • Custom timber creations

We're proud to supply the fasteners that help bring those projects to life.

Whether you're a professional cabinet maker or someone building your very first project, we're here to support your success.

Quality Doesn't Always Mean Expensive

One of the biggest misconceptions is that quality always comes with the highest price tag.

Our goal has always been to offer excellent Robertson screws at fair prices.

We work hard to keep our costs sensible without compromising on the quality of the products we sell.

That means our customers get dependable fasteners that represent genuine value—not simply the lowest price.

Competition Makes Us Better

The market has become more competitive over the years, with imported products arriving from all over the world.

Rather than seeing this as a problem, we see it as motivation.

It encourages us to:

  • Keep improving our product range.

  • Listen to customer feedback.

  • Source reliable products.

  • Provide knowledgeable customer service.

  • Continue educating Australians about the advantages of Robertson square drive screws.

Competition keeps businesses accountable, and that's a good thing.

More Than Just Selling Screws

At Screw it Screws, we don't see ourselves as just another online retailer.

We're passionate about woodworking.

That's why you'll regularly find:

  • Project ideas

  • Educational blogs

  • Product advice

  • Tips for choosing the right fastener

  • Helpful customer support

If we can help someone complete a better project, then we've achieved more than simply making a sale.

Looking Ahead

The Australian woodworking community continues to grow, and we're excited to be part of that journey.

We'll continue searching for quality Robertson products, introducing new fasteners, listening to our customers and supporting makers across Australia.

No matter how many cheaper alternatives appear on the market, our focus won't change.

We'll continue supplying quality Robertson square drive screws because we believe that's what Australian woodworkers deserve.

Thank you to every customer who has supported us over the years. Every order, every recommendation and every project you've shared helps keep the Robertson tradition alive in Australia.

We're proud to be part of your workshop—and we look forward to helping you build your next project.
