Did America reject the best screw ever invented out of pure spite? 🇨🇦🇺🇸 Back in 1908, a Canadian engineer named P.L. Robertson perfected the square-drive screw. It was a masterpiece of physics: 🔹 You could wedge a screw onto the driver bit, turn it upside down, and shake it without it falling off. 🔹 One-handed driving. 🔹 Zero slipping, zero stripping, maximum torque. So why isn’t it standard everywhere? Henry Ford. 🚗💥 Ford wanted to buy the manufacturing rights, but Robertson refused to sell—he had been burned by foreign licensing deals before and wanted full control. Refusing to yield, Ford walked away and adopted the Phillips screw instead. The catch? Phillips heads were intentionally engineered to slip out (cam-out) so early assembly line workers wouldn't snap metal with power tools. 🛑 Fast forward a century: woodworkers use color-coded square bits, Torx saved modern engineering, and DIYers are still stuck pulling out stripped Phillips heads with rubber bands. 👇 Team Robertson, Team Torx, or are you still suffering with Phillips? 📌 Save this to settle your next garage debate! #RobertsonScrew #EngineeringHistory #ToolTime #PhillipsVsRobertson #Woodworking Which is best?

Is there a better day to introduce the girls to #howitsmade than on Father’s Day? 😂 I honestly didn’t think it would hold their attention but apparently the making of socket wrenches is riveting 🤯 Might be a new Sunday morning activity! #happyfathersday #girldad #tooltime #raisingdaughters

Love how easy it is to just pop on another Worx battery when a project needs more power. Total game changer. #worxtools #worx #batterypoweredtools #tooltime

Hyvää pyöräilyviikkoa kaikille! Muistakaa tarkistaa että pyörällä on turvallista ajaa. Se on helppo toimeenpide, missä katsotaan että kaikki on ehjää ja oikealla kireydellä. Momenttiavain on oikea työkalu tähän, rikkoutunut pultti on hankala irroittaa. Moni kysyy minulta mitkä työkalut kannattaa hankkia jos huoltaa itse pyörää. Lista on seuraava: 🔧@weratoolrebels 3a pyöräsarja ✂️Sivuleikkuripihdit 🗝Ketjunavauspihdit 👕Rättejä 🧪Ketjuöljyä #reipastapäivää #kaupallinenyhteistyö #weratools #toolrebel #weratoolrebel #tooltime #työkalu #pyöräilyviikko #pyörähuolto #toolcheck #toolboxwars #bikeservice #mycanyon #canyoncclctv #huolto #diy #pyöräily #heiolenpyöräilijä #teinitsejasäästin

The boss said, “We’ll work when power’s back.” The sun said, “Hold my rays.” ☀️😂 The Solix C800+ is perfect for those difficult job sites. #ankersolix #sunsouttoolsout #toolporn #tooltime

There were plenty of stressful moments at the set of Home Improvement, but there was only one time I was truly frightened. Not in a meeting. Not over ratings. Not during a rewrite. It happened on the Tool Time set, in front of a live audience, with cameras rolling and nowhere to hide. ⠀ Tim climbed into a Bobcat for a scene, and within seconds something felt off. What was supposed to look out of control suddenly was out of control. From the booth, David, Carmen, and I watched as the machine began bouncing in a way no rehearsal had prepared us for. ⠀ At one point, we all stood up at the same time. Not out of excitement. Out of fear. The Bobcat lifted, tilted, and for a split second I was convinced it was going to tip over and crush Tim. Your brain moves fast in moments like that. Faster than dialogue. Faster than comedy. You stop thinking about the show and start thinking about the person. ⠀ Just before it could happen, the machine slammed back down and crashed into a table instead. The audience laughed, because that was the joke. But in the booth, we all exhaled at once. I remember thinking, very clearly, we just dodged a bullet. ⠀ The irony was impossible to miss. Tim was supposed to look out of control, and he absolutely was. The difference was that this time, it wasn’t scripted. It was real. And it reminded us just how thin the line can be between comedy and catastrophe, especially in front of a live audience. If you’ve enjoyed these behind-the-scenes stories from Home Improvement, you might enjoy the longer reflections in Glimpses. Click the link in the bio to learn more.
