The reason Canadians use the square head screws, they are better than slot screws or phillips. Oh did I tell you it's a Canadian invention.

The reason they are used is that they can be torqued harder than a standard cross-tip (Phillips) screw without experiencing cam out. Plus, if the right size Robertson screwdriver is used, the screw holds on the driver pretty well for starting in tight places. The link below has a lot of fascinating information about the various screw head designs.

They are Robertson screws.  Klein makes a great 9 or 11 in one screwdriver that comes with 2 sizes of Robertson bits.  They are also commonly used for electrical work.  And I think they are used more in Canada than in the US for some reason.  You can pick up Klein tools at Home Depot or on Amazon.

Hi. Please tell me what kind of wood/ or what ever, kind of screws Forest River used in the interior of the 2017 R-Pod 179. I do not have a screw driver that will even come close to working.  ThanksEmbarrassed
