Bit Driver Name

[Fuelboat]

Looking for the name of this driver bit or where I could purchase a replacement. It is used on my wife's Bernina sewing machine. Bernina wants $25 for a replcement driver bit. It looks like a slotted driver with a tip in the middle. Thanks for the help.

It looks like they call it a needle clamp screwdriver.

Here's one on ebay for $10 shipped.

I gotta ask, why do you need the tip? Can see it help with centering, but why wouldn’t a regular flat head work?

because.... Bernina.

(girlfriend owns two of them.)

With a bunch of the little "stubbie" screwdrivers I have laying around I would be getting creative with an extra flathead and a file.

Does it trip an interlock, or something fancy? Using a 50 year old White in this household.

I like that, so it would not slip out when turning.

The screw has a little hole in the head to allow the tip to lock in it. Wife is upto 7 sewing machines, 2 sergers, 1 long arm quilting machine. and I only get to have a single 69 Z/28 doesn't sound fair to me.

Found them online for less than 6$ each, but didn’t check on shipping costs.
