Default Hex set for power drill ?

I just bought a Ryobi TEK 4 power drill today. It's 4v and 1/4 drive.
Where can I buy some power hex bits for this ? I tried Home Depot, Sears. Loews etc and no luck . Would appreciate and info. Thanks

My LHS sells some EDS brand "power bits", I don't recall if they were stricly srewdriver bits or if they were in fact hex bits. I guess I need to check into them next time I'm there.

Thanks for the reply. I'll have to check my LHS. I don't recall seeing them but then again I wasn't looking for them at the time.

How thin are the walls on the nut drivers? Everything I've found so far is just too big and I can't get to some of the nuts without taking a ton of stuff apart.

I can break out the calipers and give you exact ODs if you remind me. I won't be home until later tonight. Just shoot me a PM and I'll hook you up.

I don't think that's necessary just wondering if they are thinner than what a standard hardware store cheapo nut driver if you've ever used those before. Some of them are just flat huge I guess to make up for the garbage metal they're made out of.

Without any specifics I can't tell you. There are a ton of "standard cheapo nut drivers" and I'm sure that they are all different to a degree.

For $30 I just bought them if the walls are to thick I can always turn them down. Now I can take the wraith apart without making my fingers raw from a standard hex wrench.

These are WELL worth the cash. I have the associated set, and I am pretty pleased with them thus far

Although this may not help, I have a 1/4' bosch impact and I use a 1/4' hex to 1/4' square adapter that i got a from a Dewalt 1/4' set (maybe $18 at the big orange box) so if you already have 1/4 square driven hex bit, that should work. Btw it also came with 1/4' hex to 3/8' sq, and 1/4' hex to 1/2' sq so it was pretty versatile .

i would guess they are as they are designed for r/c's ...i know what you snap-on driver barly squeezes in to loosen wheel nuts.

i have had my ofna's for 5 years they are tough, although i don't use them all the time. i like to dismantle using the power tooll, and hexes. For first time builds and assembly i like hex drivers to get the feel of tighten.

* although if you have a long 20+mm screw i use the power tool to run it in.

I have the Ofna's in the pic above, they are GREAT.
OD for the nutdrivers are:
4.5mm=7.00mm
5.5mm=7.90mm
7mm=9.45mm

I also have a Ofna set. My hands get bad after a while (carpel) so turned to a Black and Decker driver. After 4 years the battery is starting to go, so think it's time for a new one....

Integy has a ton of sets, Allen only and with nut drivers. I have an Allen only set I purchased for $25. They work great!

if you have the money you can't beat these, ahve some of of these in the common sizes as well, they are milled to such tight tolerances you can take out bolts other wrenches strip.
