Found this link on bladeforums while looking for extra bits.
They are ball detent and claimed to be the exact size as Vic's.

Unfortunatly, since I'm European, shipping it over here would probably double the cost...

Some people here might get a good deal here:

Annoyingly they aren't double sided

Still a great find though. :tu:

I would LOVE to see a CyberTool bit set add-on by Victorinox, siminal to the leatherman bit kit.

say an additional 10 double-sided bits would be great.
If I can help, let me know

Totally agree, it would be awesome to have a Cybertool bit kit. Its a shame the additional bits found in the XVAT are so hard to find. I always think how cool it would be if Vic added another "bit carry layer" with only bits and no driver back springs to get in the way. You could probably fit another six bits to the existing 4 included bits. Although I think an external plastic bit carrier like you suggest is probably cheaper and more practical size wise.

Just curious, does anyone have a caliper to measure the Vic hex size?

The drivers are advertised as 4 and 5mm hex, the bits are approx 3.95 - 3.97mm.

Cool! I own this set of Tekton mini screwdriver bits, and they measure 3.97mm. No ball detent, but a good assortment and I would wager that the bigger sets from Tekton are the same size as well.

Yeah, plenty of precision bit kits available from Wiha, Kraftwerk, Toolcraft etc.

Kraftwerk has a kit similar to OPs with ball, but for most it is easiest if you install a small magnet in the CT-bit-holder. My favorite holder is from Toolcraft, but I prefer the Wiha bits. The smallest and probably best companion to the CT is from Red Cycling.

I've got some generic 4mm bits already, but I'm afraid to mess up my CT when trying to install a magnet. Therefore I'm looking for alternatives.
Kraftwerk is a brand that my dad can order through is company, so I'll have to check those out...
Any parts number?
