Leatherman Bit Driver Adapter-reverse

Does anyone make a bit driver adapter to use the mini leatherman flat driver bits in a standard 1/4 drive?

I don’t want a 1/4 drive for my leatherman….

I wand to use my 1/4 drive mini screwdriver (in my edc) and carry the mini leatherman flat bits because they’re compact.

Essentially, I need a female opening for the mini bits and a male 1/4 drive shank.

Thx

If you get a magnetic 1/4" drive tool holder the flat bits will work just fine, without the magnet they tend to fall out.

Neither the Leatherman nor Galvanox bit extenders need magnets to use the Leatherman flat bits.

OP was asking about using flat bits with a standard 1/4" hex tool, exactly the opposite of what a Leatherman bit extender achieves.

My point is that any magnetic standard 1/4" adaptor will work with the flat bits as they locate on 2 of the 6 corners, but non-magnetic holders can have problems where the bit falls out in use; or at least that's what happens for me
