The only difference I am aware of between normal and the tamper "proof" ones are the little indent in the middle, couldnt you just take a normal one a drill a small dimple in it?

or you can knock out or drill out the little nub/post in the tamper proof bolt?

btw, the bits are available at your local part source.

save yourself the time and money. just goto auto zone. they have the kit for tamper proof bits, or you can get the allen set. it has all of them, and they fold up.

i myself have this set. i need it when i work in prisons and banks.

hmmm. you must not really use your tools. since dewalt sold out to japan/chinese production, they have sucked. that would be why your old drill is still working. same is the case for all old tools. Once they started using the ****ty imported clutches in them, they sucked. I have gone through 3 dewalts. they make better paper weights then they do tools.
