It would be great if Festool would make available a set of self centering bits and counter sinks that would contain all the sizes to install common hardware.
At least in the US there is only one self centeing bit and two counter sinks.

I'll second that.  I've added these three items to my Centrotec Bit Assortment.  Now if only they had left a little more space in that kit...

That would be good, but until then, I  purchased a rather complete "Snappy" set of such self-centering hinge screw bits (together with a lot of other snap-in drill bit holders, plug cutters, pilot hole countersinks with depth stop collars, and screw driving bits, all designed to be used with US standard 1/3" shank ball detent chucks.  Certainly not as precise as Centrotec, but much less costly, quick to change and precise enough for most of my applications.
