You can also simply use a 1/4" drive 1/4" hex socket with these bits.
Good point. Those 1/4"square to 1/4" hex adapters are often included with packaged screwdriver/ratchet sets that have a huge variety of 1/4" hex drive bits.

Another way to get hex bits is to cut down L-type allen wrenches using a Dremel and a cut-off wheel and super glue the stubs into appropriate size 1/4" square drive sockets.

Lots of alternatives.
