Hey European & American friends who use tools and do building, repairs, DIY – are Robertson screws common in your area?

Are Robertson screwdrivers common in European toolboxes?

In Canada I suspect that 99% of people who have tools would have Robertson screwdrivers in their toolbox. At least the red & green (#2, #1) sizes. The more intrepid will have the yellow and black (#0, #3) sizes too.

Poll to follow…

Do you have Robertson screwdrivers at home?

Comments, boosts & elaborations appreciated. Wondering if I send something to European customers with Robertson screws they'll throw them away and use Phillips or Torx or something.

@ottaross they will. I have a full set of Robertsons which have moved from Berlin to Munich to Boston and not been used. I asked a few people in Germany and none had heard of them.
Use Phillips or include a driver
