What have I now?
« 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.

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?

Apex versions of the Dzus drivers. Both the same size. Waiting patiently for a job that will never arrive.

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:
