Anyone know were I can find a mini srewdriver set that has all the little torx,allen head and other stange little knife screw heads in it.I think that if spyderco or any other knife company for that matter came out with a complete set of all these little shapes and sizes of screwdrivers they would sell very well.
 
Benchmade do a small set, that ironically comes with a note to say that if you take apart your Benchmade you invalidate it's warrenty :confused: , but ti be honest it isn't very good, the metal in the bits is too soft.

Here's the set I ended up getting. All the bits you could ever want.


BTW - Are you trying to kill my eyes with your light green on light blue colour scheme ?? :D
 
Thanks,that will be the set I get.Is the Metric only the hex.Is there a metric torx or is all torx the same?
 
All torx are numbered the same. Torx(r) is a registered trademark of Textron fastening systems (on the web at http://www.textronfasteningsystems.com/ :) ). All their inch and metric screws share the same standard torx bit sizes (consider it a small patch of sanity in a the unrelenting thicket of tradition and legacy which fill our the tools+fasteners section of the hardware store).

As an aside, I'd love it if the square (Robertson) head would make a comeback. It has most of the advantages of the Torx and I think they just look good. Of course, then I'd have to buy another set of bits. :rolleyes:
 
An easy, low-cost set is currently available at Home Depot.

It's one of those screwdriver-with-interchangable-bits-that-stow-in-the-handle jobbies form Husky.
 
If you need an excuse for another SAK, the Victorinox Cybertool 34 has some small tools: 3 Torx, 3 Phillips, 1 straight, and 1 Hex, etc.
