While Glenn deals with his Dometic Refridgerator issues, I was interested in Harold's response that the retaining screws on Glenn's heat shield were Robertson's Screws.

While I do have a set of Robertsons, I also have a set of Chapmans Tools...

So, while I pondered the difference between the two tools which appear to share similar designs, I found this Wikapedia listing of the varying designs of fasteners and tools to remove them...

It's makes me wonder what other marvels of screwdriver technology are out there.
Filling the tool box can add a lot of weight to ones LD.

Our Hi-Lo trailer used mostly Robertson screwheads. Hundreds, nay, thousands of them! Much better than Phillips, IMHO.

I thought these were pretty interesting. Would be a pain to take apart without that magic drill bit though.

I'm sure glad I don't need Whitworth tools for British cars and motorcycles any more!

Our first family camper (Starcraft pop-up) used clutch-head screws, which look like bowties.
Our boat (which I still have) uses some Reed & Prince screws, which look like Phillips at a quick glance, but don't have the tapered 'cam-out' umm... feature, yeah, that's the word, feature that Phillips has. R&P is pretty straight.
And no Whitworth in my '67 Sunbeam, just lots of fine-thread bolts.

Pick up this 48 piece set and you're good to go.

With my hammering skills, I could really use that 16-ton hydraulic nail unbender. Thanks for sharing! :D
