Let me rephrase that...

When & why would you use a P2R bit rather than a regular P2 bit? Are drywall
screws specifically meant to be driven with P2R bits? It seems that P2R bits
are more broadly purposed than just for drywall...

Looking for more than Google gives on P2R... (although now that I know it
stands for Reed-Prince, I do find more). But Googling "P2R" only says it's
for drywall, which I find ... an incomplete answer.

So, no, Google is not always the answer.

If it works in a Phillips head screw, what the hell's the difference if
it is a P2R bit or a #2 Phillips bit?.
Just hold on to it until you get screws that it will only fit.
All this crap because of a number on a bit.

It is if you don't know dick and are trying to evade the subject.

What do we need a newsgroup for when we have Google? Every question that's
ever been asked and every fact of life is in Google. I say we kill all
newsgroups.
