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! |

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. |

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. ![]() ![]() |

Here's what they look like: ![]() Wire piece stays stationary....the little piece with the slot turns and the cut outs at the bottom of it engage the wire. |

Here are some samples: http://www.milspecproducts.com/ We call them Camlocks on Herc's (for the most part)...at least on the engine cowlings. I like that Stearman tool... ![]() |
