[Boatanchors] Tool To Remove Slotted Nuts

[Rod Hogg]

Dick,

What you are talking about, I think, is a tool (was?) made by Xcelite.  Not
sure what it was called but they made 2 sizes that I know of, for the 1/8"
and 3/32" size jack retainer nuts for miniature phone and mic.  I have them
both, but can only locate one right now.  It is Green and model number
TW-32, the other has a Blue handle.  Has an aligning pin and the spanner for
the slots.

Did a search on Xcelite (Cooper Tools) catalog and didn't see them there??

The other tool some have mentioned for the screws in the PL plugs, the one I
have, is a Western Electric KS 2348.  Much, much smaller size.  And center
pin is spring loaded.

I can't remember where I saw this tool, but it is for removing the nuts on
Phone Jacks or Mike Connectors that have two slots, 180 deg apart. They
are usually recessed in a panel that will not allow a nutdriver to access.

Any idea what I am talking about !!

Tnx Dick, W1KSZ
