{"product_id":"robertson-screw-canadian-by-design","title":"Robertson Screw—Canadian By Design","description":"\u003cp\u003ePeter Lymburner Robertson was demonstrating a spring-loaded screwdriver when the blade slipped from the screw slot and badly cut his hand. Rather than accept the flaw, he decided to invent a safer alternative. In 1908, he established his manufacturing business in Milton, Ontario, and by 1909 had patented what would become one of Canada’s most practical and enduring inventions—the Robertson screw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimple, functional, and brilliantly effective, the square-drive Robertson became a staple of workshops, job sites, and garages across Canada. More than a century later, it remains one of the most recognizable examples of Canadian industrial ingenuity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Story Behind \u003cem\u003eRobertson Screw: Canadian By Design\u003c\/em\u003e Art Print\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece was inspired by a love of carpentry, renovation, and the simple satisfaction of well-designed tools that just work better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone who has spent time building, repairing, or working with their hands understands the appreciation that develops for functional objects designed with purpose.
