>Stanley does not make the replacement bits anymore. It would probably be easier to buy another one with bits in it. I have seen them at yard sales and estate sales. You might also check ebay.

Maybe someone on the this board would be willing to sell you just the bits if they have extras. I would also check local hardware stores (not the big box stores) and see if by chance they had them hanging on the rack from old stock.

I would say that if you find any, buy them all.

>Chip,

I was able recently to find push drill bits at Sears Hardware. They were a twist bit instead of fluted like the Stanley's but they fit and work just fine in my #41's.

>They sell them at the Tool Shed in Schenectady, NY. No affiliation. They have boxes of them last I checked. They're kind expensive as I recall but they have NOS (Stanley) and after-market ones.

>I haven't checked on this, but Klein Tools lists a pushdrill in its catalog that looks suspiciously like a badge-engineered Stanley; I've thought about contacting a local Klein dealer and seeing if they list replacement bits and if they fit a Stanley.

At one time, pushdrills were a standard tool in the toolpouches of telephone installers, because they were a highly portable tool useful for drilling the tiny holes that phone lines require. I suspect this is why Klein lists them.
