I'm a Rice student in need of what could possibly be a Robertson (square) screwdriver as shown here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_screw_drives#Robertson. Does anyone happen to have any driver that fits these weird square screws? I am planning a trip to the hackerspace next week (hopefully I'll make it to the open house) and bring a drawer I need unscrewed with these. If you don't have them, I would appreciate any advice on where I can find a driver like that in Houston, from your experience.
I'm told that a security bit set might have the driver I'm looking for, if anyone is in possession of one of these, they'd be great help.

Just about any multi bit set should come with square bits. Check home depot
or harbor freight.

I am amazed that no one asked him what this screw is holding together. For myself, I'm curious. Will you tell us?

I saw a couple of sets online. The thing is, I'm not sure which size I need, so I would have needed to buy the set just to ensure that I got one that fit. But I figured that implies buying 4 square screwdrivers--which I may never use--to lug the rest of my life. Being a student who has to move every year to a limited space, I thought it was less practical than other options. But its good to know they are popular around hardware stores nearby.
The story: the screws are holding back the front cover of a drawer that I want to turn into a keyboard tray. If I remove the front, I will then be able to access an external keyboard from a very convenient position (that is probably much healthier considering the amount of time I spend on this desk). Essentially, I'm modernizing a decades-old desk to fit 21st century ergonomic needs.
Thank you for all your quick responses, looking forward to meeting y'all this Friday! -Carlos
