I've managed to bend the belt clip on my Leatherman. To bend it back, I'll need to undo the little screws which hold it together.

I think I need two Torx Plus bits (TP15H specifically) to take it apart, but I'd rather not buy two complete sets of bits for this one job. Anyone know where I can buy individual bits from?

Just don't go near laser tools or silverline plasticine ends, cheap decent bahco socket set at £25 has most things you need up to 13mm socket and 4 torx bits

Check locally to see if there's an engineering tool and equipment supplier; there's often one on an industrial estate somewhere around.

eBay is worth checking

You might find it quicker/cheaper/easier to buy two cheap cheap torx [url= http://www.toolstation.com/shop/p32803?table=no ]multi-fangled-doofers [/url]than two individual bits. (or a set of driver bits and a set of keys)

I'm pretty sure a regular torx driver bit will work in a Torx Plus screw, (but not the other way round - so you can't use T-plus keys in a regular torx screw) so you don't need to go to the extra expense of T-Plus as not many people have the license to make them and that keeps the price high.
