Need to remove factory mount from the flashlight body to install a different weapon mount. What size torx is needed to remove the mount.?

Buy this and never worry again. It's probably an 8.

I did and the mount is smaller than a T8 which is typically the smallest torx in those type of sets. I am going to have to buy one of those mini torx jewelers type screwdriver sets probably.

You can buy these locally, usually from NAPA.

You need to bump your tool stock up a bit

I picked up a Husky folding torx set last month at Home Depot for my knives. A lot of them take a 6 for the pocket clip.

T5

T5

Your standard torx set didn't have a T5?? You end up buying a 5 or getting a complete set.

Most of the "standard" torx sets you can buy at Home Depot or elsewhere (The kind of sets where all the bits are permanantly together only go down to T8 I had one of those type so I had to buy a set of smaller bits
