rhart123 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Does anyone know what tool I need to remove the grip screws on a new 97B? They appear to be some kind of star like socket head screw, but when I tried to use my star tools to remove it they fell in between sizes. I'm guessing they are metric?

kneelingatlas Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) Does the new one come with aluminum thin grips? they could be Torx screws.The screws in the old one with wood grips were Philips head.

rhart123 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 Yes, aluminum grips and torx is the word I couldn't think of when I said "star". Do they make torx in metric - my set didn't have the correct size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon49erfan Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Torx have their own size. fwiw, the grip screws I just got from CZ were T20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhart123 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 I have a T20 and it is just a hair too small to turn the screw - slips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon49erfan Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 There is nothing in size between a T20 and T25. So if it isnt a T25, Id guess the tools you are using are either really cheap and out of spec or well worn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhart123 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) They are CK tools from Germany and this is the first time I've used them. They were definitely not cheap though. I'll need to look and see what the next size I have is when I get home today - they may jump from T20 to T30 or something (should have looked at the size of the next one up). I don't have a lot of them (6 torx bits). T20 is too small and the next size up won't fit in (too big). They are part of a small set of tools with a driver...

rhart123 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Thanks for the help everyone. I am embarrassed to say that it was indeed the T20 torx that did the job. My driver is a ratcheting driver and I apparently had it set on "neutral" so that it wouldn't turn anything either direction - the torx tool wasn't slipping, the driver's ratchet was "slipping". My bad eyes and bad lighting led me to believe it was the wrong torx side. I apologize for wasting everyone's time, but it's nice to know you all are so helpful. Thanks again.

emjei Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Thats why a Phillips screw is the way to go.......you can always find one Mj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhart123 Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 I agree, but it came with the torx and CZ wants a bunch for their screws. Not a problem now that I know - the torx bit is in my range tool kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
