Hey everyone,

Does anyone know where I can find an old style "snoopy tool"? I have the Snap On Dzus tool but would like to find an old compact remover to carry around in my pocket.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, yeah I saw that one but I was trying to find the old military type.

But that is a nice piece, I might just get that one anyways. :lol:

That is the old military style, adopted in 1941. The new military style, issued today, has the same shape like that but uses vinyl heat shrink for the handle.

Dzus fasteners on aircraft in this case, usually hold on items such as access doors, cowlings, etc etc. things that need to be opened regularly.

I always found a modified screwdriver worked best. You're able to get better torque with the screwdriver.

Snap-On offers a good quality screwdriver type:

Here’s a really nice one the SRA sent out to its members a few years ago. I keep it in the tool box, but it’s almost too nice to use.

So it's a kind of twist of the wrist and it's open tool :)

Wire piece stays stationary....the little piece with the slot turns and the cut outs at the bottom of it engage the wire.

We call them Camlocks on Herc's (for the most part)...at least on the engine cowlings.

I like that Stearman tool... :D
