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.

     I missed that these were for _miniature_ jacks.  The 
tools I mentioned are for standard size jacks and switches 
but smaller ones could be used on miniature ones. I've not 
seen those. Most of the miniature jacks and switches seem to 
have hex nuts on them but the same sort of knurled nut could 
be used and for the same reason: appearance.
