Impact driver replacement bits

[shortjohnsilver]

I have a Clarke 498 1/2 impact driver set and have managed to shear off the tip of one of the normal cross head screw bits. I’d like to replace just the bit or maybe the set of bits rather than the whole kit, as the impact driver is fine. Trouble is the bit has a hex cross section width of about 8mm and try as I have you can’t pick these up at the usual retailers.
Machine Mart sell the kit but not individual bits for the impact driver and I don’t really need a second driver.
Anyone know of an old fashioned hardware store anywhere that might sell these? Rarer than rocking horse teeth!

I wish your request had been made sooner


I recently hit my impact driver too hard and smashed it. You could have had the bits from it.

I'm not sure if I kept them and unfortunately my boat is in Brittany so I can't check.

But I am pretty sure you can buy individual impact driver bits online.

Thanks Poignard, if you find them lingering somewhere I’ll be pleased to have them.
Yes, online is proving a lot more difficult than I had expected, but I’ll keep at it.

Not sure what you mean by a cross head screw bit. Do you mean a bit for slotted screw heads?

If you do, what about these?

I think 12mm wide is about the largest you would find. Smaller widths are available.
