Flight wrench question
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: http://puzzlephotos.blogspot.com/ Thanks for taking a look. Rob |

Rob 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. --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.

You get quite a few google hits with that spelling. http://www.cardwells.co.nz/category.php?CategoryID=86 --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.

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!! --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.

Flight wrench question
Thanks to everyone for the replies. I'm still wondering about the slots on
the back end, anyone know what they are for? Along with more info on this tool, I put another picture of it (in which some of the text on it is visible) on the answer page to this set of photos, if anyone is interested: http://pzphotoans122.blogspot.com/ Rob |
