Default Looking for a bit holder like one I have already

I have a really nice little 'snap in' bit holder for hex bits that I
use in my cordless drill. I want to get a couple more the same but I
can't find any nearly as good at the moment.

I have posted some pictures of the one I like (and want more of) and
also of a few 'not as good' ones that I thought might be what I
wanted.

The pictures are at:-

The first two pictures (...62 and ...63) are of what I want, in the
drill and out of it.

The second two pictures (...64 and ...65) show, in order from left to
right:-

A Wera bit holder, quite expensive and has a nice feel *but* the
latch works the wrong way round - you have to pull the sleeve
'forwards' (i.e. towards the pointy end, away from chuck) to
release the bit. It is also slightly fatter.

A Siegen bit that I just bought, quite nice but doesn't feel so
solid and is a bit fatter which can be a nuisance in some
situations.

The bit I want to get more of the same if I can.


I really thought the Wera one was going to be what I wanted but it's
just very awkward to get the bit out. It's much more natural and
*easier* to pull the sleeve back towards the drill when removing a
bit. It's also quite expensive, over £10, which seems quite a lot for
a simple device like this. At least the Siegen one was much cheaper,
just £2.xx for two of them, the short one in the pictures and a longer
one.
