Leupold Torx Screws???

DeBee · May 4, 2003, 11:45 PM

If I lose another one of those little Torx wrenches, I am going to go mad!

Could someone please tell me what size Torx bit to order from Brownells, MSC, or Sears or anywhere so I can get a half dozen of them and secret them about my home and shop...

I'm sitting here looking a rusting rings on my 3-9x36 Zeiss and I can't do anything about it...

DB,

Get a Chapman screwdriver kit with the Torx bits. You get Torx, Allen and screwdriver bits with a ratchet,screwdriver handle and a nice yellow box to KEEP them in when you're not using them (hence easier to find next time). Good for gun work. Brownells or Midway should be able to fix you up.

Have fun - JohnDog

They are T15... I hate to think about how many of those I have around here.

Or Sears&Sawbuck. Also Ace/TrueValue Hardware. Heck, even Harbor Freight or Northern Tool--cheaper and online.

I bought a 3-piece set of Craftsman Torx, English and metric wrenches about 10 years ago and haven't lost a one since. The sets are all enclosed in a steel handle device with a strong bolt though one end of each wrench (wrench ends are wrapped around the bolt). The handle is used for leverage - very handy set of tools.

Thanks for the help...

T15 That's what I need.

I have soooo many tools, all the allen wrenches, all kinds of drills and taps, metric and inch- OK, I'm a tool addict... I'm the guy haunting the flea markets for old tools...

I will get a Brownells insert for my Master set and then visit Sears for a backup for the backpack!
