If you switch to the square drives, be sure to include
two complete sets of drivers for them; two of each
size used on the boat (the first will have been lost).
Neither I nor most other mechanics use these tools,
so don't carry them. A simple repair can become
expensive if it requires a ttrip to the hardware (from
Green Turtle Cay?). I favor Phillips, myself.

Mark, if you ever come north of the 49th, be prepared for a shock.
Everyone here uses Robertsons! And it's a good idea to have more than
one set in your toolbox for a number of reasons. BTW there are quite
a few different sizes :Yellow, green, red, black and double black -
however only green and red are in common use. Any multitool
screwdriver purchased here in Canada will have a red and green
Robertson tip included. And if you ever buy a Robertson screwdiver,
get one that says"ROBERTSON" on the shank. Cheap imitations (from
below the 49 th and other foreign countries) tend to become rounded
at the edges. - Where is that darn flame-suit???
