My a Delica has a loose pocket clip. What size screwdriver do I need? Will it work for Manix 2, Native, Salt1 or etc.?

Thanks
 
I forget which, but it's a Torx T7 or T8. And if you get a set of mini Torx bits from Lowe's or Home Depot you'll have what you need for most if not all Spydercos.
 
One at Lowes: "Kobalt" Looks like a little blue screwdriver. Has worked for all of mine so far, except the Tenacious and Resilence. Be gentle!

I believe the delica4 uses the T-7 on the small screws and T-8 for the pivot screw.

At Home Depot I got a Husky torx screwdriver (has 4 double sided interchangeable torx bits, so 8 total: T's 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 & 15). It is gray and is like a jewelers screwdriver, you can spin it quite easily. I really like it because as said the bits are interchangeable and it holds the 3 non-using bits inside; it is very handy. It was also very affordable, I got it for around $12 plus tax and it is really well made.
 
Three screw clips, like those on the Delica IV and the Native IV and V, use a T-6 Torx. US nickels are the best tool to use on barrel bolt clips, like those on the FRN C41 Native Lightweight and C78 Native III. The narrow wire clips used on many of the newer models generally take a T-8 Torx, although there are some that use other sizes. As suggested, one of the small Torx sets, like Home Depot's Husky or Lowes Kobalt, is a good investment.
 
I have a Wiha T6 and it fits all the screws (except the pivot) on my Endura 4 Wave perfectly. Buy quality drivers/bits like Wiha. Poor tools are the quickest way to strip screws and possibly ruin a knife (or whatever).
 
Ah my bad, The Deacon is right (just checked mine), T-6 for the 7 small screws and T-8 for the pivot screw.

KNaB makes a good point, getting some blue lock-tite too.
