hirsca Posted March 9, 2017 Share #26 Posted March 9, 2017 Thanks to phantomfixer for putting me on the right path. Searching the internet tonight watching Patsy Kline and waiting for Roy Orbison's Black and White, I discovered this thread. Hoping that someone may be able to positively ID this tool for me. Thanks, Al More pics to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blitz67 Posted April 8, 2017 Share #29 Posted April 8, 2017 The "Dux-All" wrenches are also used to arm the MK25 air dropped sea flares, that's what we used them for anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomfixer Posted July 25, 2018 Share #30 Posted July 25, 2018 here are a few cam lock tools...the first, on left is WWII I think, PN SAAD 41-149, not sure of the middle one, and the far right, I carried in Germany on F-4Es... CTK marked for box 66...wonder if they want it back.... I have heard them called mickey mouse tools by the WWII vets and snoopy tools by the 60s and later vets...we always called them snoopy tools would like to see more if you have them...unit marked etc on F-4s, most of the under belly access panels were cam locks...during engine start, each engine had two panels lowered...one for the air hose to turn the engine over and one for the exhaust for the air start motor... the LOX panel #16 was a cam lock panel...hydraulic service panel #23 was cam lock also... F-16s did not have cam lock panels...I am thinking the F-15 might have been the last jet fighter to use Cam locks?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohawkALSE Posted July 26, 2018 Share #31 Posted July 26, 2018 That middle one looks like the Duz All Flight Wrench. And what in the heck man! that right snoopy tool is box marked and they didn't shut down air ops when it was missing from that box! haha. I have a Duz All and then a couple of the snoopy tools like it the very first post which are like 80s-early 90s era ones and one of mine is marked to an IL ARNG AASF (Army Aviation Support Facility). Think most people use Gerber tools these days for the Army world. Seems like with what others said, once the Huey went away so did Snoopy. Snoopy tool can be handy in an A&P tool box.

phantomfixer Posted July 26, 2018 Share #32 Posted July 26, 2018 The flight wrench...from what I have read is mainly for over the wing tank caps...a flat blade will swivel out to pry the lock handle up and the opposite side of the tool to twist the cap off....we just used a big flat head for the wing tanks... yep, still useful if working the line r we the only wing nuts???

Steindaddie Posted July 30, 2018 Share #33 Posted July 30, 2018 The "Duz-all" flight wrench was known, during my time on T-33's, as the "T-Bird Tool." That might have been just a local name (Eielson AFB), but no matter what its nickname, it was a handy device for the reasons already stated by others. We also figured it would come in pretty handy during a saloon brawl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
