Clutch fastner screwdriver
« on: August 25, 2014, 06:13:02 AM »
I have one of these, same as E-bay item No 360556362660 but I do not know what it is used for, Ill assume A/C automotive clutch but cant remember seeing a need for this tool on any A/C work I have done.
Always looking for what interests me, anything early Dodge Brothers/Graham Brothers trucks ( pre 1932 or so ) and slant six / Super six parts.

Not for clutches and not for A/C.
Quote
There are two types of clutch screw drives: type A and type G. Type A, also known as a standard clutch resembles a bow tie. These were common in GM automobiles, trucks and buses of the 1940s and 1950s. Type G resembles a butterfly. This type of screw head is commonly used in the manufacture of mobile homes and recreational vehicles.  Type G is not necessarily tamper resistant because type G can be removed with a flat-blade screwdriver.

To remove the radio from a 1950 Chevy, you got to have them, also to remove the sheet metal from a 1950s era John Deere tractor.   Have a couple of them, and used them once maybe in the past 20 years.

The eBay example appears to be a Type G...
