   Robertson screwdrivers are easy to use one-handed, because the tapered socket tends to retain the screw, even if it is shaken. [15]: 85–86 They also allow for the use of angled screw drivers and trim head screws. The socket-headed Robertson screws reduce cam-out, stop a power tool when set, and can be removed if painted over or old and rusty.
