I keep buckets of Robinson heads is various sizes in the shop. They get driven
w/ a light brace and a Lee Valley adaptor: "Our hex driver has a 1/4" hex socket
with a rare-earth magnet in it to firmly hold any standard 1/4" bit – Phillips,
square-drive, posi-drive, etcetera." http://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/p

But when it comes to something that shows or when I need a size from the local
hdwre store because I don't have it in square drive, I will go for a slotted
screw.
