Being from Milton, I guess he would favour Robertson!!
They beat the heck out of phillips, but the americans and europeans still don't want to buy them!
(I'm a Robertson fan myself)
Robertsons don't strip. The head locks in securely too. I use them where ever I can. Phillips and Hex strip easily and slotted tend to slide out. Actually the Robertson factory was torn down last year as they're moving operations to Montreal and China. They're supposed to be building a fancy HQ in its place but they haven't started yet. The original office and wearhouse are still in use. I've lived here all my life so I know all this stuff.

Is it me or does black painted R/C hardware tend to strip easily? Brass and steel fine but thoes black painted one... I don't know what they make them out of but they suck!
