Cobra Head or Rattler?

[Out West]

Just got my Salsa in black aluminum. I love the shape, sharpness, and feel of the knive. However, the Cobra Head rattles.

Anyone else experience notice the same rattle? Where can I find a Torx screw wrench this small? Thanks for the help.

No experience with cobra hoods, but as far as the Torx driver goes, if there's a Home Depot near you they carry a little set that has all the sizes I've found on other Spydercos and costs about six dollars. It's made by Husky and the model number is HD-74502-T. At the other extreme, Wiha makes some very high quality sets. Great tools but at about the price of a Salsa.

Sears' Craftsman brand torx screwdrivers sell for $2.99. You can get a torx key (Companion brand) set for around five bucks. Remember to take you knife with you when you purchase a torx screwdriver.

I just checked my Ti Salsa and the screw on the cobra hood is a T6.
I would second the opinion on the Whia tools, they are a very high quality tool. I have used their torx, allens and screwdrivers and never had a problem with any of them. Their #1 phillips fits the clip screws better than any other screwdriver that I have.

Thanks guys. I will be picking up a set of Torx wrenches this weekend. Hopefully, I can take care of the wobbly Cobra Head.
