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:

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.

OK... here are pics of both types of fasteners. The correct spelling is
"dzus". You get quite a few google hits with that spelling.

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!!

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:

The slot is to remove the fuel cap easier

I would imagine that it is used on the "wing type" dzus fasteners, even
though I don't really see the need in it.

I was taught to pronounce it zeus. Not sure if this helps any.
