I personally use an Xcelite driver as well. Someone on one of the forums/lists I'm on had a link to a seller with hundreds of them for a few dollars apiece, but it appears that seller is out of 7/32". It was suggested that a Craftsman 1/4 drive deep well socket would work, but the 7/32" I had was too wide to fit down into some of the recessed holes.
Looks like there's plenty of Xcelite 7/32" drivers on eBay for good prices.
