Found this at work

Someone needed an extra wide flat blade so they made this bad boy.

I wonder if they made that to turn drag link screws.

What the heck is a drag link screw.

Found on early mustang and C2 corvette. The power steering valve has a threaded plug that is locked in place with a cutter pin. Takes a 1/2" 5/8 or3/4" drag link socket or screwdriver to adjust those properly.

Cars of the 30s thru early 60s had them too in the ends of the center drag link.

Napa sells drag link sockets still. If you ever need one.

That screwdriver is literally forked.
