    Seems to work pretty good
    I bought a full kit, not just the torque head, from Fix-It-Sticks.

    Thanks for the information. I had wondered where to get some extra fasteners and you guys answered that question. Those 50 fasteners should last me, I hope.

The Capri CP21075 is a nice 1lb increment adjustable torque wrench and the Vortex version is simply a re-branded Capri at a cheaper price, especially if you have a law enforcement discount like expertvoice.

    I'm probably going to pick up a Fix it Sticks set (like what is included with the C&H set) just to try them out because they'd be cool for a really compact kit as well.

    I bought this Whia kit at the recommendation of @NickDrak.

    It’s proved useful for a range of gun and optic related tasks.

    I’ve heard really good things about Wiha and I’ve bought a bunch of their bits. I bet they are at least as good as or better than what I’ve used.

    I am thinking Torx 15 is ideal, but is there an argument for something else?
    I think it depends on screw size. The M3 screws I referenced are (I think) IP10. I’m more about torx than size of torx.

    Also.. at the end of the day I think it’s more about how one mounts than about the screws they use. Though I do hate hex... Boooo!

    For the RMR, I use the following McMaster-Carr screws for direct replacement of the factory screws after the first battery change. This is a very high-tensile strength, American made Torx/Torx-Plus part, and it comes at a very reasonable price.

    Anybody got a source for 6-40 x 1/2” with a Torx head?

    My L&M RMR cut came with hex/ Allen head. I’d really like to change to torx

    Good thread idea. I need to figure out which ones I need for my primary machine P09 and P07 / Holosun slides

    Don't know what head form you need, but something like this might be close. Play around with the filters on this site.

    At $8/screw retail, this is several thousand dollars of screws, bought for about $40 in bulk.
