Anyone know if you can get these in NZ?

Try a topline supplier for electricians, they'd be the most likely.

Alternatively you could go to a builders supply and buy the bit that fits into a gib screw gun. I am pretty sure it is a number 2 JIS and they are made of very durable steel. Only snag is that it is a bit and about 130mm long. Plenty of std fitment handles about though.
EDIt, i was wrong they are no2 phillips.

Will probably end up ordering from the states.

I needed this the other week:

Had to use a dremel to get a standard impact driver to work.

I think the screw drivers we sell at work could be JIS. Will look tomorrow.

Could be wrong. Dont pay them any attention.
