TDI Belt Clip Fasteners

Shearwater · Jun 18, 2009

Just got the TDI Belt Clip in the mail. I'm trying to put it on my BK-11. What are the o-rings for?

Any help with how the fasteners should be used would be appreciated.

you put the o rings between the sheath and the clip itself and screw the screws though them. If that makes sense

Thanks Jake. That makes sense. Now to locate a tiny torx bit...

I found one at Lowes. It is a kobalt torx set. It was like $5.95 for the wrench and 4 double ended bits. The Bit you will want is a T6. As with just about all torx bits.. be VERY careful not to strip the bit. The T6 is very small so be careful. Push down real hard when you tighten the screws (it doesnt take a lot of tightening to make it secure)

No worries, I never strip out or round off anything.

Thanks for the info. Lowes is exactly where I was heading since we don't really have a hardware store within a reasonable drive.

+1 on the Kobalt set. I have one as well and it is perfect for folding knife maintenance, too.

Got the set this morning and the clips went on with out a hitch. Thanks again.

Sweet shearwater! I agree with you ejes.. Ive used that same tool for tightening pocket clips and what not on a lot of my folders.

Where do you get the TDI Belt Clip?

Shearwater · Jun 21, 2009

These guys have 'em. http://www.campsmarter.com/mokb1480clip.html

If you search for the TDI 1480 clip you will find other sources also. Camp Smarter seemed OK to deal with but that was my first purchase from them.

If you notice there is enough room between the belt clip and the body of the clip made by the thickness of the rings, that allow a thin belt to be slid in and hold the clip in a horizontal position. I hope that's what they had in mind, but I was just as confused as you when I rec'd mine months ago. - bill h

does it make it poke out more or does it secure it close?

After reading this thread, I ordered a couple of these clips for my Becker Neckers. When I received them I noticed one of the bushings was defective. I used the Ka-Bar web site to let them know and three days later I got replacements. What great customer service.
