I cannot find CLUTCH HEAD drivers or bits anywhere. Help please...

These are the bits that look like a bowtie (real bowtie, not a chevy bowtie) when you look at them straight on. I need a set for my '56 Chevy pickup. Anyone have an idea where I can get a set?

 

I hate to advertise for these guys.....but I got my set at harbor freight.....not high quality, but they worked when i needed them.

 

I found mine on the snap- on truck.

 

That's good to know, thanks. I can't stand the quality but hey can be my last resort. Anyone know of any good quality clutch heads?

 

Jim Carter truck parts out of KC, MO has a set they sell.

I'd love to have access to a Snap-on, Mac or Cornwell truck...

 

PERFECT, thanks Mark

 

I made mine from sum old driver bits that i had .30 seconds on a bench grind and whalla ...

 

I was actually considering that...bought a bunch of 1/4 drive adapters to do just that but wasn't sure how the hardened bit would take the grinding.

 

Local hardware stores around here have them, Ace, Menards, Lowes etc.............

 

Snap on has them so does LMC the truck parts people'

 

RV store

 

Chevs of the 40's... Anyplace that sells parts for those trucks. Good luck.

 

There cheap to make out of old bits and the good thing is when the do eventually round off i throw them over the fence into drug dealing neighbors yard in the hopes that one will get caught by his mower blade and knock a window out of his new Escalade .He cant seem to figure out why i move all of my cars out of my driveway to the curb when he starts his mower ...

 

old RVs use them, but only the smaller sizes, not the big ones like Chevy used for fenders and stuff. I got some small bits at Ace to use in the cordless drill. I have a full set of the screwdrivers, mostly from way back when Napa etc sold them.

 

I bought bits and screw driver type at ace .they worked very good.they also have all three sizes.You also can get them at mobile home repair places.

 

Bought all mine at Napa for my 49.

 

you can get them off of evil bay... these suckers like to rot out, I had to drill a few out already.. what a mess.

 

Just about any Restoration store that sells parts for old Chevy trucks has the clutchhead drivers. You just need to look.

Home Depot has then also.

i picked mine up at napa auto parts

 

Sucks dont it ? I had fun with clutch heads on my 50 while dismantiling it.I used a cutoff wheel when there was enough room and had to drill sum in tight spots .I dont know why GM ever used them ...

 

They are on eBay all the time. Thats where I got mine.

 

You can go to Snap-On's website and order tools direct from there.
Don't bother with Mac anymore, most everything on the truck these days (since Stanley bought Mac) is Hecho in China.

 

in Canada you wont find them at Home Depot or Canadian Tire, but KMS Tools has them. 4 piece set of screw drivers for $22 (not just bits)

 

Found some right quick on Amazon.com, both socket and screwdriver handle types.

 

You live in Calif and have no access to snap on tools? Look here for snapon info, if you tap in a more specific search with google, IE give your city or a city that you like you can get even closer then I did with norcal.

https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=snap+on+tools+North+California

I know that we live in a fear filled world these days but I have even flagged a snapon truck down at an intersection before.

 

Got a set on Amazon

 

Got one from Chevs of the Forties, it was a bit tight and had a point on it that I had to grind off. I drove it in to each head and still ended up drilling some out. I hate clutch head screws.

 

National chevy or chevys of the 40s 50s ect they come in long or short shank like $15 a set of 4-5 sizes
