Both types do the same type job, but you have to be careful about confusing the types. Dzus types use a radiused slot and have the locking bar/spring mounted on the recepticle. Camlocs have multiple slot/recess designs and the locking bar is on the post. If yoiu tell me that you need to open some Camlocs on a panel, I'm taking a Phillips or Hi-Torq or flat blade out to the aircraft. If it's Dzus, I'm taking my Snoopy....a flat blade tends to chew them up in a hurry.


Not trying to pic nits......I just hate getting to the a/c and not having the correct tools to open it up.

And if you say "Southco" I wont take any tools because I'll get there and they'll all have vibrated out anyway.

Wow! That is cool! Any extra available to hit EBay or the like? That's a tool I'd like to have even if I never used it.

I’m not certain, but the SRA might have some left that they may sell. It was around 8 years ago when they sent me mine. It’s hard to see in my crummy pics that the tip of it is radiused, so it really is a Dzus tool, not just a fancy screwdriver.
