Title: What have I now?
Post by: coolmercury on November 08, 2021, 03:16:37 PM: Picked these Walden sockets up on e-bay, 1/4 inch drive and certainly not drag ling sockets. I'm guessing that they are for Dzus fasteners, but have never seen anything like them before.

Post by: DeadNutz on November 08, 2021, 05:35:41 PM: I would guess they are for some form of 1/4 turn fasteners and could be for Dzus ones. Are the 3 socket tips different thicknesses or profiles?

Also used to hold panels on race cars. I thought you tractor pulling types would use them as well, or are you too redneck for technology like that and just use baling wire :hee20hee20hee:
