They're used in cheap drywall screws and really suck in that application. The screw is too soft and the drivers are also usually too soft and strip. Once the driver starts to round over it's ruined.

All Canadian carpentry is done with Robertson or nails, drywall with Phillips because you don't want to apply a lot of torque so Phillips is perfect for that application because Phillips is shit.

That's a shitty screw then not the style of head issue?

Those aren't separable issues. A good drive system would do more to compensate for material deficiencies. A shitty torx screw is a lot better than a shitty robertson screw. Robertson is at best C tier.

I think torx are usually in higher end applications. So a shitty torx is going to be better quality materials than a equivalent shitty hex and Robertson.

I think you've been collecting shit square systems then. Try an actual set of Robertson screws with a Robertson driver, and you'll have a very different experience. Squares have no taper, Robertson's do. This is also assuming where ever you find them, they have named them correctly, but I swear they ain't the same.
