As the name suggests, these are nuts that have protrusions on the head, which makes it easier for one to open and close them by hand. Most of the time, they are designed to be used without any fastening tools such as spanners. This type of nut has become indispensable in many types of use, but it’s important that one always knows how to use them right to ensure that they get the most out of them.
The wing nut should be used in a setting where the fastener that is to be used needs to be opened and fastened with ease and in a frequent manner. A good example of this is when you need to fasten a lid on a particular type of machinery, but in such a manner that you will still have easy access to it when you need to.
Most commonly this takes the form of a collar on a tube, fixed in place by a screw operated by a drum key. This collar mates with a fitting that receives the tube and secures it by means of a wingnut or wingbolt. When the stand is disassembled, only the wingnut or wingbolt needs to be loosened, and the collar remains in place, allowing the stand to be reassembled in exactly the same adjustment. When the stand needs to be adjusted, the collar is first loosened by means of a drum key.
In summary, wing nuts are an important method of fastening that comes in handy in many applications. It’s important that you always know when to use them, and also how to select the best ones to suit the application you have for them.
