will the benchmade blue box work with spydies?
hey guys, just lookin for the tools to open up or adjust the spydies. what do you all use and where can I get one??
thanks guys!
thanks guys!
BM BlueBox will work. Most Spydies use Torx head screws, sizes vary from T6 to T10 at least in my experience. You can find suitable tools from pretty much any well stocked hardware store.

Anyone know if the BM Blue includes Torx T6 to T10?Creepo wrote:BM BlueBox will work. Most Spydies use Torx head screws, sizes vary from T6 to T10 at least in my experience. You can find suitable tools from pretty much any well stocked hardware store.

Not all of them. T6, T8, and T10 only, IIRC. So it will work for some Spydercos, but not all. since a number of them use T9.flash900 wrote:Anyone know if the BM Blue includes Torx T6 to T10?

Home Depot sells a small set that includes a bit for every size Torx fastener Spyderco uses under their Husky brand. Lowes sells the exact same set, in different colors, under their Kobalt brand.

I have the Kershaw T-Tool and while it's great and can always be with you, the bits are a bit on the soft side and can/will deform with tough screws and lose their function, but on the plus side won't strip them.monsterdog wrote:Kershaw T-Tool works for most Spydies, and fits on your keychain. It has a T6, T8 and a Small Philips head bit.
I would love to see Spyderco come out with a similar tool.

These work great in my experience--I've heard that Benchmade torx bits rust easier than the Husky ones (just forum hearsay on my part). The quality of the steel is pretty good on the husky, none of mine have malformed from use at all.The Deacon wrote:Home Depot sells a small set that includes a bit for every size Torx fastener Spyderco uses under their Husky brand.

I'd absolutely recommend the Husky over BM set, as it has more bits and costs less. But I've never used BM's, I almost got it but found out about the Husky, and haven't looked back
