Actually, I once saw screws which looked a bit like Robertson (the
square-socket kind) but with a triangular, not square, socket. I think
they were intended as a "security" screw head; I just took a spare
screw whose shaft was large enough and ground it down to make a
suitable triangular screwdriver. But they'd provide substantially more
positive clutching between driver and screw than even Robertsons....
