Hi,Does anyone know where I can find a tool(s) to take apart folders & move the pocket clips?I have about three different allen wrenches,torc wrenches..etc,but the screws on most pocket clips are way too small for these.I've been in & out of hardware stores & Home Depot's & can't find anything that fits.:grumpy:
 
Sears makes an excellent tool...It's a Craftsman "Magnetic 32 Piece Screwdriver Set", and the number on it is (9)47489
 
I bought both the Husky 74501 and 74502 at Home Depot for about 6 bucks apiece. They each come with four double ended screwdriver ends (torx on the 74502 and slotted/phillips on the 74501). They cover every small size I've ever needed.

They are designed to carry one end mounted and three stowed in the handle, but if you reach into the handle with a needle-nose pliers you can pull out the plastic divider that separates the interior of the handle into three slots and you will be able to get all four of them in there - otherwise you are sure to lose the one you have mounted.
 
A set of precision screwdrivers should do the trick, or electronics screwdrivers. Available at most large hardware stores.

Thanks for the links.That's just what I was looking for.:)
 
My CS Recon required the ultra-small "Torx" bits for the pocket clip. Sears had those too.
 
Hey, mycrofft, great tip. I have the Huskies, and I noticed you could lose the exposed tips - any tighter and you'd need pliers to change them out, so it's a compromise.

I just store them in a small zipper bag with some other tools, like a watchmaker's wrench. Still, I'd like to keep them all in the handle. Now I can!
 
I picked up a Canadian-made Picquic Teeny-Turner multibit screwdriver for $4.99 at Fry's Electronics. In addition to the small straight (2) and Phillips (2) bits, it comes with T5, T6, and T8 Torx bits.

This one from RadioShack has a T6 bit that will work on your CS folder. :thumbup:
