Default Loose ball bearing for bit holders

Sick of the band spring coming loose and losing the ball bearings that my tools use to hold hex bits and sockets etc. Usually just buy a new tool but I'm getting sick of the waste.

Does anyone know of someone that sells an assortment of loose ball bearings, like a box of them you can get like you can by assorted o rings, clips and fuses?
Right now I've got 2 different 1/4" hex bit tool holders that need 1/8" or 3mm bearings replaced, and a 3/8" socket hex bit holder that needs a 9/64" or 3.5mm bearing I think. No idea how to ascertain if the bearing is metric or imperial so I'd love a box/kit to cover me and for future use.

If not there's a uK shop I suppose I can get various sizes and make my own kit, apparently ebay lists a lot because cyclist like to build their own bearings with loose ones.
Best seller with complete range I found so far is in UK and on ebay https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/273679759496

Anyone know of local sources where I can pick and choose?
