See post# 15. It should be rightfully called a Cummings Driver, after it's inventor and patent holder. Robertson's contribution was improving the screw mfg technology. So the correct nomenclature when trying to impress your 19 year old hardware clerk is "where do you keep your Cummings driver bits and Robertson screws?".

I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.
I'm a big fan of Klein tools. I don't wear an electricians toolbelt anymore, but when I did it was filled with Klein tools and I would accept no substitute. I have a Klein 11-in-1 in my desk, another in the console of my truck, and one inside every site we support.
But, I've never seen one of these bits. Our local distributors don't stock them because there isn't enough demand. I know that when I was in the trade I didn't have the need for a power square-drive. The hand one filled the need perfectly. Of course back then drills didn't have batteries either.
That said, since it's a Klein tool I'd be extremely surprised if it doesn't exceed expectations. I'm searching for one online as we type.
Thanks!

I finally figured out how to deal with sawdust in my hair.
I shaved my head.
Go get em Bill. No passes here. Good one.

When I die I hope my wife doesn't sell my tools for what I told her I paid for them.
I should have mentioned that I have had some pretty good luck with HighPoint bits, but they were a bit pricey. I don't know if that was because they were Highpoint or if it was because I purchased them at Woodcraft.
I have a 3" square drive bit, two piece hardened end mounted in larger shank that I have used for going on 20 years or so and bought it from McFeeley's. It is still my go to bit unless I need longer reach for pocket holes. Haven't had any trouble with my Kreg bits either but they aren't nearly as old nor as used as my favorite.
