T6 torx screwdriver

Hahahahaha Phillips lmao

If you look at it in the dark or you don't have pretty good eyesight it isn't hard to confuse a torx screw that size for Philips or Allen

 

[greeenie]

Allen I'll give u, maybe its just because I'm a mechanic

Be nice now Greeenie

NEvar!

If you are gonna have the knives and swap parts invest in a decent set of torx. No wallyworld crap either. Just make sure the set goes down to t6.

I burn through t6 bits, just a little bit too much pressure and I twist the bit lol. My current one is twisted but still works lasted me about 3 months which is good for me. It was made of tool steel and I paid 3 bucks for that one bit. It always happens when I decide to swap clips while tired or drinking.

Try Bondhous torx set. Haven't had one twist yet. I have had some cheaper ones that twisted before cracking the screw.

I'm going to get a Wiha Set soon. I haven't heard anything but good.

I've burned through lots of cheap T6s, a Wiha is next as soon as this last bit is done. I made the cheap ones last longer after they twist by grinding them down a milimeter or so, just past the twist. Makes them last through three twists instead of just one.

Wiha is good stuff. I found a nice set made by Eklind (USA made) that goes from T3 to T25. I mostly use the T6 to T10 ones. I think it was like $25 shipped. Good investment.

I've had this combo for a while, and they've worked out well for me. Spent maybe $15 in all. The GorillaGrip is good for getting torque (overtightened screw, or to break threadlocker), and the $5 Torx set is more than sufficient once the screw has been loosened. The Wiha sets and the like are nice, but if you're applying that much torque, having the folding handle of the GorillaGrip is of greater benefit. And once it's been loosened, it really doesn't take much to back the rest of the screw out.
