Driving screws with hand brace

[Jim Mackell]

I need to drive a large number of #16 wood screws using a hand brace. I have seen the common screwdriver bit that fits into a hand brace. Most of them have a sleeve that helps hold the screw straight while it's being started.

My problem is I can't find them on any web site no matter what search terms I'm using. Does anyone know the correct title for these bits? Or even better, a vendor that sells them?

Thanks!

I assume you mean a hex shanked bit, rather than the tapered shank brace bit - never seen one of those with a sleeve. Try McFeelys. LV also sells tapered shank hex adapters that lets you use any hex shanked bit, but no sleeve there.

You may also want to ask a mod to move this over to the Neander forum.
