FAQ · Pocket Tools

What size Torx bits do EDC tools use?

Pocket clips and pivots on knives, lights, and pens most often use small Torx in the T6 to T10 range, with T8 especially common. A compact driver with T6, T8, and T10, plus small flat and Phillips, handles the majority of field adjustments and clip swaps across a typical loadout.
