Key Features

• Professional-Grade Construction: Built by OTC Tools, this speed nut is designed for the rigors of professional automotive and industrial use, ensuring long-lasting performance.
• Secure Self-Locking Design: Functions as both a nut and a lock washer, with spring steel prongs that exert pressure on the fastener's thread root, preventing loosening due to vibration.
• Rapid Installation: Engineered for quick application without the need for additional tools beyond the fastener itself, significantly speeding up assembly processes.
• Vibration Resistance: The inherent design of speed nuts, typically made from spring steel, allows them to absorb vibration, maintaining a permanently tight attachment.
• Eliminates Separate Lock Washers: Its one-piece design integrates the functions of a traditional nut and lock washer, simplifying inventory and assembly steps.
• Accommodates Misalignment: The "float" characteristic of speed nuts helps to correct minor panel mounting hole misalignments, facilitating easier assembly.

Applications

The OTC 34136 Speed Nut is ideal for a broad range of professional applications requiring quick, secure, and vibration-resistant fastening with a 2-1/2"-8 thread. Common use cases include securing large panels, components, or assemblies in heavy-duty automotive equipment, industrial machinery, and other applications where robust thread engagement and efficient installation are paramount. It is particularly valuable in scenarios where access to the backside for a traditional nut and wrench is limited or impractical.
