Where can I get one

[Zimmerin]

Anyone know where I can get these. I lost the one I had and don't know where I got it from. It fitted in my little Wera ratchet or my Leatherman and saved me from carrying a separate key.
So that's all it is, a cabinet key (double bit) with a 1/4" hex end.

If you can’t find one, can you make one?

Get a metal key, a hacksaw and a flat file.

There is a Wera insulated version, for their handle, but more bulky!

Maybe chop the length and file down the hex end

Thanks guys, have explored all those options before, have the Wera one and have beaten cut off key into a 1/4" socket etc etc.
Nothing only the one pictured will fit into my little set. I had one, I took the picture of the one above, so somebody somewhere makes one.

Do you have this set? It looks like this one?
Maybe RS can help?

I think you are exactly right m8. Thats the set and thats where I got it from, well done, I had forgotten.
Now the bad news, I really need two of them now, one to replace the one missing from my set above and one for my leatherman/wera set. Looks like I would have to pay 100 euros to get two of them by buying two Rs sets.
I am surprised that type of bit is not more common

Amazed at the price of that kit. There's one on eBay UK for over £100 GBP.
I imagine the company putting that tool on the market are buying in the cast bits from somewhere. If you could track down who/where the manufacturers are (RS won't be making it themselves, though it could be their spec.), you might stand a chance of finding a source of the bits!

Update - seems to be made by a German company called Cimco:

Cheaper from them:

Thanks m8, you have done some good searching. I would have thought a lot of sparkys would buy a tip like that for a few quid, so surprised there aren't more around, considering the amount of 1/4" hex bits made to suit various security screws that nobody has ever seen, while those cabinet type keys are common.

Thought I had stumbled on a great find by the same company, until I saw the price.

Just for my interest, I used the contact form on Cimco's website to ask if they could supply the replacement part you need, and their answer was no! .
At least they replied.
So no joy there. I think you're stuck with having to buy a new whole set in one form or another, unless some kind person here donates one!

Well you sure tried m8. Thanks.

Best I could do for now, without spending any dosh. Beat a cut off key into a Lidl socket. It will never slip in the socket, as the veins were out in my neck, tightening a big vice, while it moulded round aluminium into a 8mm hex.

Will do for now, fits in my little set.

Looks better than the original. Knurled grip if the latch is easy, 1/4" drive if it's a bit stiff.
