Hi everyone,

We have a hand brace drill in our shop at my university that is really helpful for getting plate screws out, and all kinds of things... but all of the bits have gone missing. I was trying to find some online, and have had zero luck outside of ebay, which I am not allowed to order from. Does anyone know of a "real" vendor somewhere that sells square shank bits for hand brace drills? Or anyone have extra ones they would be willing to part with? Specifically, we need flathead and phillips head bits.

Thanks!

Lee Valley and Taylor Toolworks make adapters that take hex head or sockets.

Perhaps someone can get the originals on Ebay and gift them, or find some workaround. The phillips tips seem hard to get but they are useful.

Hi Robert,

Is there any chance that Schaff part #878, #879, or #68 would work? They are designed to fit into a tuning lever  and I wonder if they might fit in a hand brace. Not sure if it would work or not. Just an idea to look into.
