Phillips head bit size 2R

[Paul S.]

Does anyone have an idea where I can find the following Phillips head bits; PH2R? These are not the same as the PH2.

As far as I know ther are two cross slot screw head standards, the American Phillips and the European PosiDrive (identified by 4 extra marks in the cross). Maybe a tool outfit like SnapOn would be a source. HTH.

You are probably looking for a "reed & prince" bit, yes I am serious that's what its called.

Sears screw driver sets back when I a got mine 20 years ago had a red handled screwdriver that looked like a slim Phillips.

try this link

The "R" might stand for "reduced": I've seen some Phillips bits describd that way; they seem "skinnier" than the usual ones.

Such a bit might be difficult to find on its own, but I think you might find one in some of the sets of bits in Lowes, HD, Sears, etc.

These are reduced tip bits. The purpose of reducing the tip (length) is to cause them to seat better into the screw recess. Makita sells reduced tip bits. Along with this, or without the reduced tip look at ACO appended to the bit designation. ACO designates Anti-CamOut which s ribs on the tip surfaces that impede the bit's tendency to lift out of the recess and damage the screw head. Again Makita has these. Vermont America is another vendor.

Yes these PH2R's seem skinnier then a normal PH2 plus with the tapcons I use, the PH2R sits down into the slot much better then a PH2 thus reducing any slipping when I drive the screw into the masonary.

I have a PH2R but I got it from my last employer of which will not share with me where I can find them. Such nice people

I get them at my local True Value.
