I want to remove the clips from the 3 knives I just received (with one more coming). Is this a torx type and have any of you found a cheap set for sizes this small?
I'd like to just go down to Ace Hardware and buy the cheapest tool that will remove these clips.
You can try using "Micro Precision Tool" which widely used for most of sanrenmu and Bee Knives. and this tool with pouch are "Easy to carry".
Buy it separately you have to pay additional shipping cost.
if order it with knife together,it will be Free shipping.
Those look like Torx bolts.
Cool. I found the tools referred to by JackyHu in the U.S. and they should be delivered in a few days so hopefully that takes care of the problem.
I'm impressed with the knives, especially the SRM 605 and the Bee L05-1.
On my SRM 763 all the bolts are of the allen type and very small at the clip. I only have a cheap hex tool in this size and it promptly slipped. So I next used a pro grade torx tool that bit into the allen cavity corners and that worked. I wish they didn't apply Loctite there.
A little warning the Micro Precision Tool from ED doesn't cover all screws on the SRM/Enlan knives. The 1.5 mm allen/hex fits on the smaller screws on some clips but has too much play for my taste and the 2.0mm version doesn't fit... so I assume it's an inch tool that would be needed. Is there something like an 4/64 allen tool (1.59mm)?
I have (and tried) several small hex tools and they were either too big or two small. I'm not sure what sizes I have however as they are now mixed up. It is frustrating :)
I don't care if I can use the screws again after I get them off...I just want them off :)
I'll wait until the get the Micro Precision Tools and if that doesn't work I'll go cave man I guess :)
