Default Tool help please

I wasn't quite sure where to post this so I hope this is OK. I did a search and the only relevant thread I found was from 2007.

I am looking for hex bits to use with a power screwdriver. Please let me know what you use and where you got them. Thank you in advance.

MIP (Moore's Ideal Products) makes some nice ones. Had them for a while and some come with a ball end or straight hex. You can find them at most r/c shops or online. Also look at local hardware stores, but I personally love my MIP tools. I still have some that are twelve years old and in perfect condition.

The title of this thread gave me a good laugh, but that's just my mind in the gutter.

to answer your question, I have used these for quite some time in my DeWalt 7.2 screwdriver. They work great.

I found these on ebay few years back. New they were cheap but ought them anyway. To my shock I still use them and haven't needed to replace a on yet. I think I have assembled 8 RC's and maitained htem all with these bits.

I got the 3 inch and the 1.25 inch. I used them on a lil 3volt Skil mini driver. and my Nextec

I bought a torque driver about 15 years ago and It was very hard to find 1/4" to hex driver tips at the time. I haven't looked around for them in a while. I might have to pick up a couple of those eBay sets.

Thanks,


Chris

Those look perfect. They don't have the smaller drivers, but then again, power shouldn't be used on with a .050" wrench...
