All with hex shank and of course you will need to grind the end of the hex shank around 5mm to shorten it to make it compatible with western impact drivers.

I do get some Japanese hex shank tool accessories and it is always a lot of work to grind their hex shank to shorten a bit, of course I don’t do that with HSS cobalt bits as cobalt is considered as a toxic metal.
