brace screwdriver bits

Anybody know if anyone is still making screwdriver bits for braces? You used to be able to just buy them at Sears, back in the 70's and before, but the only place I see them nowadays - and it's extremely rare - is old tools newsletters like Patrick Leach's, and I haven't seen any of them for sale for years. And mine are getting kind of beat up.Why do I want them, you may ask? They're terrific for work on old boats, which tend to have hundreds of large-caliber bronze screws that have been in place without movement for fifty years or more, and have no intention of moving without encouragement.Tom Dacon

Thanks, SailsMan - I should have thought to look there - that's where I buy my fasteners.
