I found this at Home Depot today.  They are Milwaukee Insert Magnetic Nut Drivers.  I use the centrotec bits all the time with my drill and every time I need a nut driver I have to switch out to my Jacob Chuck.  I know that Festool makes a 1/4 and 3/8 socket adapter, but im not a fan being that the sockets can fall off,  and it always seems like it happens when im 20ft in the air.  They were priced at $15 and includes sizes 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, 7/16, and 1/2.  Its an awesome set i have tried it out and it locks in with my Festool Lock Extension.

So now you tell me?  [blink] I was in HD today for the first time in months. Guess I'll be back soon. Thanks for the heads up.

They include three of them with the shockwave bit set as well (i think 1/4", 5/16, and 3/8).  Unfortunately, even though they say the bits were designed to handle impact driving, I've found it takes only a few drives to chip their phillips bits when using the impact driver.  I use the Dewalt fatmax bits instead now in my Milwaukee drills (I don't have Festool drill...yet).
 
I used the 5/16 bit all day today to drive in timber locks with no issues.  I was not using it in an impact, i was using my t15 and had no issuses.  I wish i would have found this set sooner.  I have noticed with impact bits that batches differ.  Some times you get a good batch and they last for a while.  Other times you get a handful of uses a single bit before it breaks.  It doesnt matter on brand.  I have bought Dewalt,  Milwaukee and Bosch and still find bad batches from time to time.  Im also not a fan of impact drills for every day use.  If im working on my truck i will pull it out and it works great for that.  For driving screw they are too noisy and not as fast as a drill.  The noise drives me nuts.  And i dont want my clinets listening to it all day.
