I've got a flight wrench marked Duz-all, and was hoping someone could
tell
me exactly what it was used for. There is a slot on the bottom and what
looks to be a screwdriver on the other end. It's number 696, the first
tool
on this page:

Thanks for taking a look.

I remember when doing some dirt track racing, we used Duz (dutz?)
fasteners on the sheetmetal. Aircraft also uses them, but a different
style.

On aircraft, the little do hickey that is spring loaded that most people
use a screwdriver to open inspection panels are Duz fasteners.

On the race car, we used this same type, but we also had some with a
little handle on them that would be similar to the "wings" on a wing nut.
These were for quick access.

The tool that you have shown would work with both types. I have tried to
google duz fasteners as well as dutz fasteners, but don't really come up
with anything. If I find something, I will post a link.

You're spelling it wrong. It's "dzus" :-)


I didn't think that "duz" was right, but that's how the OP spelt it. I know
that we always pronounced it "dutz" so that's why I spelt it that way. Well,
that reason and I had no clue on how to spell it!!
