Anyone know the smallest size they go to?  I have a mount Im tryin to take off, smallest I have is a T8 and it too big. 
  
Im startin to get irritated. Why would they use something so small on a weapon light?  (oh ya its on a weapon light)  Its a Surefire mount.  
 
Stupid torx
They go pretty small.
Do yourself a favor and go buy a descent full set of metric and standard

The part that pisses me off is it says "Use the T9 wrench included"   
 
The smallest I have in my set is a T8 and its STILL too big
T6 is the smallest I have (and seen) - I'm no jeweler though.

I have a retarded small (picture a straight pin carved into a star on the end) one that came in an Ipod repair kit....I don't have a clue what size it is though.
 
There is a driver bit set you can get at harbor freight that has tons of different bits like that. comes in a red box about 7"x4". I got it for working on electronics and knives but it works on everything - even had torx bits small enough for kershaw and crkt knives so I am guessing it would work for you. Just be aware - they are cheap and will break if you torque on them too much.

I just got it. Got the dremel out and put a flat edge on both sides of the bolts so I could use a pair of needlenose. 
 
What the hell is jewelry size bolts doing on a weapon light?

with small torx bits in a jam a standard or metric allen head will do. Most auto stores offer tool loaners. Walk in drop a few dollars, rent it, do what's needed then get your deposit back.

T1 is the smallest I have, and all Torx fasteners, no matter the size, will add 75.6 new & unique curse words to your curse word arsenal per use.

I learned a few new ones ten minutes ago. Especially after the pliers slipped [Rant1]
