   Lara tools just calls them triangular resess.

  In Canada they call those Robertson bits. They use them a lot more than we do in the US. The last time I was up there they were using them for dry wall screws, installing electrical boxs in houses, etc.

   I've never seen those or the tools to R/R them (and I have a BOX full of bits). I'm guessing that they're proprietary to one company.
