Sorry if this is the wrong forum but anyone know where to get a Pozidriv impact bit or socket set? The hand impact tool I have accepts either a 5/16 (8mm) hex head or a 3/8” socket. I had an easier time finding an 8mm 12pt 1/4 socket

I checked all the usual places so far like eBay, Amazon, HD and Lowe’s, and a local hardware store.

 

You mean these from Home Depot ?

 

Yes I saw that one but it’s not an impact socket and oddly they only carry the #2 bit.

 

what about the hammer bit from harbor freight? Are you working on the brakes?

 

If you are working on the brakes a #4 Philips bit will work instead of a #4 Posidrive bit which is nearly unobtanium... Though either of them are not an easy find... Most stores only carry PZ 1-3. I have the harbor freight hammer impact drive and the #4 Phillips bit I purchased from Tacoma Screw fits the tool.

 

Brakes, timing cover, parking brake drum so far. Stripped out the parking brake drum using a regular philips on it. I was hoping just to get a PZ #1-4 but not looking good.

 

you can drill the screw head out, just rotate the drum to an easy position. That screw is not really needed.......

 

If you have the time and the money I would highly recommend investing in Snab On bits or any of their consituents. I am unaware if you intend to continue working on Land Rovers, but it took me (Novice Entry Level Shade Tree Mechanic) about 12 stripped screws to realize they were different. Snap On doesn't offer anything on there website? I usually go to the Snap On Catalog get the reference code and search in Ebay. Yeah you might get someone's nasty greasy old tool but hell it saved me a lot of trouble in my hands and mental status. Hell it might be nice to even get a nice used kit with other bits on top of the one you need. I apologize if you are an experience mechanic and find this extremely insulting... I am new here...

 

Yep that’s what I am doing now for the brake drum and have done for the rotor removal in the past. Just thought it would be nice to have the actual tool to properly remove Pozidriv screws.

To wrap up this thread I found a 3/8” to 1/4” bit retainer socket and then ordered the #1-3 Pozidriv but set from Dewalt as well as a #4 philips bit in 5/16. Time will tell how well the 1/4 bits hold up in my impact driver.

 

uhhh yeah so I apparently got mine for relatively cheap as it turns out... I purchased Snap-On's PIT2230 for not the price listed below but it has a PZ#3 bit in there if that helps...I might of purchased a kit with a couple missing bits, which as it turns out is totally fine with me as I have used this thing more times than I can count since I purchased it... I was breaking and stripping a lot of bolts there for a while...
