Just curious..................
Why do you want to disassemble it? Would that void the warranty? Screws may be factory installed with LocTite which makes the screws hard but not impossible to remove. If they don't want to move, as a last resort, try turning clockwise. They may be left hand threads although this is unlikely. Do the Torx screws have a little post sticking up in the center of the hole? If so, you will need a security Torx tool which has a hole in the center to accept the post. Think male/female situation. <img src="/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

I have the new Wave and it does have the tamper resistent screws but they're not normal Torx heads. The Torx that I've seen are six pointed while these are five pointed? Paul

It is always easier to take apart than to put back together.

ProGunOne,
I have looked all over for the 5 pointed Torx security bit. My wife's Generation 1 Wave has blades that are too tight. I just want to loosen the tension a little.

Craig, you can get them but they're expensive. http://www.snapon.com/Item# TTXR10TPE2 Chances are, you'll need two of them. That puts the total at about $36 for them delivered, but you can save $10 if you can find a local Snap-on guy.

Well, yes, sure -- but it then fall apart. Have you tried stropping compound or something similar if you just want it looser?
