Au contraire, let's kill Google, the leaky sieve, the human rights
violator (remember the China tragedy?) and keep the newsgroups!

That is supposedly a special drywall screw bit, but I use them
for everything if I have them and I can't tell a whole lot of
difference except that they are narrower than a standard #2 along
the body of the bit.

Yup the r stands for reduced shank - the shank is only as wide as the wings
while a reguler bit is the 1/4 hex size.

I'm not sure what they are either. Back some time ago,
before I retired, we had 2 shapes of Phillips #2. one
was normal and the other was real narrow. I don't
remember the number designation for the narrow one but
I liked it because it sat deeper in the screw and I
thought it held better. That's kinda what yours sounds
like.
