Hi,
Was trying to repair my Norelco electric razor, but have hit a roadblock.
They have some incredibly small screws holding the head on.
Thought they were hex-Allen head, but now think not.
Too small, with my eyesight, to really see the head clearly; magnifier won't
fit.
Think they might be TORX headed screws ? Or ?
If Torx, any idea where to buy these ultra small wrenches that might fit ?
Home Depot, etc., do not seem to carry them.
Thanks,
Bob

they are TORX, I forget which size, seems like T5, but can't remember for
sure which T number
something less than T10 though
have not worked on mine in a couple of years
you can get precision small TORX here

I will post later on which T size, but my small TORX and my razor are not in
the same location at the moment!

No sir
you are confusing the drive size T5, T10, etc. with the screw size M2, M3,
etc.
he is not needing a replacement screw (where the screw size needs to be
known)
he is trying to undo the fastener (only the drive size need be known)
read the poster's question carefully before throwing out a response that
will send him in the wrong direction!

You're even more right. I'm going to shut up now. I think the OP has
what he needs. ;)
