Tom, I tried a few that my Festool dealer had and they were not as snug and easily came out of the holder, unlike the Phillips bit that comes with the drill. Would you have a certain name brand for the 1/4" hex bits?Tom Bellemare said:Any 1" long 1/4" hex driver bit works with that bit holder.

Jeff Zanin said:This isn't quite what you asked for but it might be what you want. Atlas (Toronto) has these made (I believe) to provide Robertson bits that work in the Centrotec check on your CXS and other Festool drills.
They are very nice and avoid all the issues with using the adapter.

One thing I noticed is that actual "Robertson" branded bits don't lock into that adapter. Probably because they're painted.
TelcoRandy said:Mr. Tom Bellemare, the "Robertson" company does make 1" wire detent driver bits. I just can't get them to stay inside the BHS 65 so I issued a warning.
