    Those aren’t Robertson, they’re Square, it’s different, Robertson has a taper, square doesn’t.

      In Canada, all square screws are called Robinson. If you go into a hardware store and ask for square head screws, the worker will correct you and say “the Robinsons are this way”.

      It’s just regional.

        They are literally two different things, and it’s Robertson, not Robinson. Yes, saying “square” in Canada will get you Robertson, as no one uses Square up north.
