I’ve a lifetime of using a certain speciality tool but find today—trying to
buy a few—that I’ve apparently never learned it’s name:
I’m looking for a “T” shaped tool w/ a push button center top that operates
two balls at opposite sides of the bottom of the “T” which balls sometimes
fit in detents put can just fit on the far side of a wall as well. The result
is to clamp two parts that can be easily unclamped by pushing the center
button whilst pulling the “T”.
Anyone know the name of this device? Where to buy a dozen? Invitation to the
flight test of my 6” solid for the first correct answer....
