I have a few of these. The jaws pinch the top and bottom of the cage nut, allowing you to pull it out. The screw on top lets you adjust the jaws. They're really fast but only when you have clearance available - they won't work when you don't have about 1U above or below the nuts you're trying to remove if you're installing them vertically. I inherited a bunch of racks that are round hole but unthreaded - popular with video equipment (and engineers) a while ago. Their cage nuts slide on from the inside edge and are much easier to get on and off compared to square cage nuts. Unfortunately, the ones I happen to have are very narrow and often the bezels or rack ears will hit the raised edges beyond the rack hole. - Zack -- Zack Williams - Artisan Computer Services - 520.867.8701 [email protected] http://www.artisancomputer.com Apple Certified System Administrator, Apple Consultants Network Microsoft Certified Professional, Small Business Specialist Sun Certified System Administrator Linux Professional Institute LPIC-1 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
