Sooo, I buys a new BBQ, which has to be assembled. Included in the kit of parts is a double ended drive bit. A Robertson #3 / #2.

Now I have experienced lots of drive types, but Never a "Robertson". Turns out is a square head, invented by a canadian. Figures, its a canadian BBQ.

I know there's a difference between philips and pozidrive, but only recently found out there's also JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard). Perhaps because I've never owned a Suzuki?

Certainly on the Hondas I tinkered with in the 70's 80's. Its a sharper (acute) angled philips style.

My 72 year old motor car uses both Oddie nuts and Thackray washers.

You try finding some now. I asked in my local old fashioned engineers emporium, J Povoas & Sons , they laughed at me. Next time I went in, the aged assistant produced a box of the latter. Sadly, they were the wrong size and all rusted !

I can still get BSF nuts and bolts locally, although being Chinese, anything that needs torquing up is fitted with the original British made kit.
