looking to find the hex nut size of tool clip screw nut mounts in tool in a yellow hex hole behind the tool clip hole on all 20V tools right under 5 slots ? dewalt cannot even tell me upload a pic in a few min need to applt this clip to dcs 355 multi tool no threads in hole for clip screw……
I’m not real familiar with sizes of machine screws but I know in the past when I’ve needed a belt clip screw I just took one out of a tool and went down to my small town hardware store and they match one for me. I’m sure if you have the screw they have a hex nut for it because it seemed to be a pretty common size screw.
not so far most hardware stop at 4-40 im going round to all tools and pull the side im not using .DOH. DCS 355 hath no threads in clip hole ..
im sure theyre other tools missing nuts too. looks like they only install in certain models .. but the yellow hex is theyre on all.. 
Just pop one out of another tool you have from the side you are not using. That is what I did for my multitool.

Great idea. I’ll do this.
Are they hard to remove?
That’s what I did too. As far as I can remember it wasn’t that hard, but the clip needed some small bends and kinks to fit the multitool if I remember correctly or else the battery would not slide into place.D W wrote:

Not hard at all. Thread the screw in and then soft tap it with a mallet to pop the nut out on the battery side. It’s a friction fit in the plastic hex.D W wrote:

Put the nut in the OMT and use a newer style belt clip, just not a real old one, and all is well.
