Ok, I finally have it in my hands! Man, it's soooooo much lighter than I thought. How do they do it? Amazing.

Anyway, I need to switch clip to tip up rt side carry. I know it's T6 torx, which I've heard the heads strip easy. Anything I should do to avoid this?

Thanks!
 
Just make sure you have a decent torx set and you should be fine. I have one that cost $4.99 from Home Depot, made by Husky..and I've switched the clip back and forth like 10 times, and all is good as new. Just be careful, that's all.
 
What has worked for me is to, very gradually, apply only enough torque to move the screw while exerting firm downward pressure on the screwhead. Take it slowly.

I just have the Husky Torx set and I have never stripped a screwhead with it.
 
Slow turn with downward pressure is the key. Generally Wiha makes some of the best torx drivers in my experience and trust me, I have a lot of varieties at home and at work.
 
Thanks everyone. Found the Husky set, getting it today! A whole 5 bucks. Has T4-T15, now I can stop using hex on everything. :)
 
Saw this tip on YouTube sometime back. Don't know who to give the credit to but since not every manufactured torx screw and appropriate driver have an exact fit, place the corner of a paper towel over the screw and then insert the driver. The paper towel takes up the slack...try it, you'll like it.
