 Hi Friends, Does anyone know where I can get some 1 1/2 inch 8's Robertson
 wood screws in the UK?

Im struggling to find some for you buddy. What do you want them for? If you are after security and/or good drive you could use these 8 x 1½" Star Drive Security Screws from Screwfix.



They are £1.47 for 10. Click the picture for the link.

Same here -- looked everywhere but they seem pretty specialised.

Sorry, good luck buddy.

Fark me.

Thats all we have here. No-one uses pozis etc here anymore.
I can't believe you guys don't have them.

Its the best invention since the screw itself. So slipping, stripping the head out, hell, you don't have to even hold the screw because it sits on the head. Even facing towards the ground!

Square Heads Rule !  !  !

Had a friend from the UK ask me about them once, quite a number of years back, they were rare in Europe and southern USA, someplaces even sold small packs as "Security screws" since nobody had the screwdriver to remove them lol


RObbies are the most common screw here in canada, national pride i guess.

I realise it's a bit late and you've probably moved on, but... are these the types you're after?
