John,

Yes the bits appear to be standard bit stock and fit in all my braces. In actual
fact they are more suited to a brace than a tool such as this. The reamer,
countersink and larger drill bits are far too much of a challenge for the
Mueller; even in soft pine.

Apart from standard screwdriver bits I am not sure what others  would have been
sold or used with the Mueller, certainly not these.

So there we have it, asked and answered :-)
