Title: Any third party bit extenders?
Post by: NetsNJ on March 18, 2018, 07:24:12 PM: The LM bit extender is $20-$25, which is outrageous. That's a Gerber suspension.

Does anyone know of a cheaper alternative? Thanks!

There are several alternatives by modifying a 1/4” extender.

There's a slim chance I might have one kicking about. If I can find it tomorrow, you can have it if you want.

It's a super kind offer, but with shipping to USA it's probably not worth the hassle. Thank you though!
