New Bosch Combination Bit Eases Common Jobsite Headache
Patented P2+R2 Combination Bit Works with Phillips(TM) and Robertson(TM) Screws
Mount Prospect, Ill., June 10, 2009 - Anyone who has ever experienced the frustration that comes from tackling projects that use both Phillips and Robertson (square-drive) screws will appreciate the latest innovation from Bosch Power Tool Accessories. Thanks to Bosch's innovative P2+R2 Combination Bit, a variety of users - remodelers, electrical contractors, cabinet carpenters, HVAC installers and others - can quit fishing around in their tool pouches for a new driver bit every time they switch to a different type of screw.
Phillips or crosshead screws are the most common screw types used in countless fastening applications and various materials. A lesser known but more reliable screw is the Robertson or square drive. With the introduction of the P2+R2 Combination Bit, Bosch has created a patented tip geometry that allows one bit to work with both Phillips (P2) and Robertson (R2) screws,.The result is an increase in productivity and a significant decrease in aggravation on the jobsite.
The bits are constructed from extra strong, high grade S2M steel for maximum durability and longer bit life. Bits are available as insert bits, and also come in 1-1/2" and 2" power bit sizes that are ideally suited for use with ultra-compact cordless power tools.
The bits target professional users working in applications where both Phillips and Robertson screws are commonly in use. In North America, the Robertson screw is gaining favor in cabinetry, electrical, HVAC and woodworking applications because of the square head's resistance to stripping or "camming out" in high-torque use. In addition, many electrical wiring items such as receptacles and switch boxes now require the use both types of screws.
