Well, I thought it was, but I can't find it. I guess its not.
OK here, you can get a set
but I don't see the individual bits for sale with hex shank on Amazon
Although I do see S.E. Vick Tool Company Vix 5H and 7H with Hex shanks sold individually.Last edited by LCHIEN; 09-20-2021, 10:30 PM.Loring in Katy, TX USA
If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

Just happened to be in the brand-spanking new Harbor Freight in San Diego (nice), and saw their version. They, too have hex drive:

$8.99 for the set of 3.
Incidentally, I change the bits to brad point or split point to reduce walking along the hard grain. I would guess that giving the bit a tap with a hammer might also help keeping the bit in center when starting.Last edited by d_meister; 09-22-2021, 11:56 AM.Comment

In this review
I have always had trouble mounting small hardware on small wood boxes, with the hasps and hinges always looking slightly off perfectly square. I'm talking
I noted I had some bad luck with some Imported ones from Amazon; I subsequently found the US made VIX by SE Vick Corp were a lot higher quality.
I do have an older set of large self centering bits from HF but with little or no use.
