You beat me to it on the Robbie screws. They have been showing up in the US over the past 10 years as "square drive". I think they were introduced there to prevent Bob Vila from hurting himself when he tries to help with the work. They are actually square tapering toward the point. A good old Canadian invention, like the Traynor amp!
