on a daily, i'm connecting and disconnecting f-connectors, taps, and filters. most of the time i'm inside pedestals and other times up a telephone pole or some other restricted area. some enclosures have been cranked tightly by the strength of Zeus and full metal 8 point slam key and 6 point pedestal key is the only way to get them open. if the lock is moderately tightened you could use the 8 point pedestal keys in standard screwdriver mode, but when they are cranked on I like to use the t-handle position for extra needed torque. this is much stronger. solidly built. can't ask for better than this. no plastic - all metal.
