I have a bunch of twos and they are all different shapes. There seem to be
a differing variety of shapes for different tasks. I do know that different
shapes perform better at one thing and another.

The sharp pointed ones are the pozi-bits. I think they are mostly a British
things much like the Phillips. I use mostly square drive now.They are less
likely to cam out.

posi-drive should be marked PZ.
they are like Philips except the sides are not tapered,but perpendicular so
there's no cam-out.

So how do you recognize a posi-drive screw head? I've got PZ bits in my
new assortment box but can't tell when to use them.
