  • Hardware stores should have them. You may have to shave them down a bit to fit, but they should have the right sized bit.
  • I tryed a few different ones and none of them has them. could the security bits go under a different name that might help find them?
  • You can easily make your own.  Get a plastic pen, or something else long, and round, and plastic.  Heat up the end until it gets soft.  Then stick it on a security screw, thats' still in a cartridge.  Let it cool, then when you remove it, it should still retain the shape of the security screw.

    Yep this was my old trick image It works for a while but the plastic is weak and once you get a really tight screw you'll shear off the "bit" nodules. I went through about 5 pens and just gave up and bought a metal one.



    The closest I got to finding the right one was an electronics repair kit at Radio Shack, but the diameter was just off by an eighth of an inch I think. This is definitely a htf electrician thing though, sears, home despot, lowes, nobody had anything remotely like it.
