It's been a while since I used a "Quilter Key" They went out of when we stopped removing fuzes, the Key was very good the "Hard Bit" was getting the locking rings to move,plus the Germans started to fit a protective cap that was held in place by the locking rings, this restricted it's use also it stopped you reading any information of the fuze.A simple but very effective idea.

EODONE when did they stop removing fuzes on UXB. It seems that they have a different policy these days, Remove bomb to a safer area and blow. Has health and safety policy's change bomb disposal these days.
