If you just need the #3 bit they sell those separately for around 7 bucks if I remember correctly.

Well, I mostly went to Lowes/Home Depot and Harbor Freight though I bought my hex bit set at a Sears Essentials store in November and didn't see anything like it. I should have known that they exist in some fashion even though it appears that I am expected to take a standard screwdriver bit and insert it into a socket. That means I may have everything I need already and I was feeling stupid for not realizing that it's what you're expected to do if you want a phillips head on your ratcheting socket wrench.

do you have a 1/4" drive ratchet?

im in San Bernardino county btw
Thanks anyway, but the standard screwdriver bit costs $0.67 at Harbor Freight and I'm sure it fits into one of my sockets, so I'll just do that if I have to. This thread wasn't looking for a solution, if just to share a forehead-slapping moment in case it can help others avoid one of their own.

Combined with the mini pencil torch, I'm sure a regular bit in a socket snapped on to a ratcheting wrench will for fine. Thanks though!

Oh, I plan to be there, but I have so many other things to do that I want to have this done already.
