What Are the Most Common Torx Sizes

[Confederate]

I'm looking to buy a set. The one I'm looking at includes T4/T5/T6/T7/T8/T10/T15/T20.

I'd be using them mostly on CRKT knives.

Thanks!

I have the Home Depot Husky Torx set and it has 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 15. I haven't run into any other sizes on my knives yet. Very inexpensive too. I think it was $8.

Same set here, just what you need, T-20 still needed, but dont think needed much for a knife application, auto/motorcycle perhaps.

Paid $5. on sale for that Husky set, it is a good one.

Never mind the cheapies, get a set of Wiha's.

Most common of these in my opine are T-6, T-7 and T-10.

These are the most common for many knives but it's good to have the others as well.

Because I rarely use them, I think I'm going to go with some of the cheaper driver sets.

Thanks for the feedback!

I love my Kobalt set from Lowe's http://www.lowes.com/pd_239384-1687...orx&pl=1&currentURL=/pl__0__s?Ntt=kobalt+torx $7 & change. All the bits are in a cradle under the end cap of the handle. Husky is good too. The set I saw had a lot more than what you'd need for a folder. Maybe they were out of stock?

 

[oldschool45]

cziv that's the one I got works great which is rare for Kobalt tools.

Home Depot sells a small kit, "General" brand, that is very good. I don't think it has the large Torx you need sometimes, but I have needed the smallest one it comes with, which I don't believe the Husky set comes with.

With the Husky set the handle holds 3 bits and the shaft holds one. You can pull the cradle out of the handle with some needle nose pliers and fit all 4 bits in the handle for storage. I learned this here on BF and always thought it a useful modification.

The most common outside of knife use, i.e. around the house, are: 15, 20, 25 and 30.

Get the Kobalt! $6 fits every folder I've ever owned. The cap pops right off the end with a cradle of 4 double sided bits (8) fits knives like bigggest to smallest Benchmades, Spydercos, Kershaws etc. without the largest or smallest sized bit being used.

I just have a Benchmade Blue Box with 2 T6, T8 and T10 bits.

The most common one appears to be whatever one I don't have.

Did you check your pocket? That's where I always find my lost sockets.
