While the camloc _appears_ to be slotted for a screw driver, the slot is actually curved and there is a special tool available for these. I don't recall the technical name for the tool but I've seen them all over at Oshkosh and in Trade-A-Plane for sale. The tool really helps with closing them snugly and preventing "screw driver rash" all over your cowl.
