A Black-Handled (No. 3) Robertson Screwdriver

This looks like an old-timer. There's no manufacturer's name on it. It's beautifully made and in excellent condition. It can go in my spare screwdrivers drawer.

Following is a list of all the Robertson handle colours, size numbers and corresponding screw sizes.


Orange, No. 00; 1 & 2 screws.

Yellow, No. 0; 3 & 4 screws.

Green, No. 1; 5, 6 & 7 screws.

Red, No. 2; 8, 9 & 10 screws.

Black, No. 3; 12 & 14 screws.

There's one more larger size that also has a black handle. I've never encountered it, but apparently it does exist; it's the No. 4 size for 16 and larger screws.
