Wing Nuts

Wing Nuts

Wing nuts are a type of fastener that is used to secure two or more pieces of material together. They are typically used in applications where it is necessary to be able to quickly and easily remove the fastener, such as on automotive components.

Wing nuts consist of a threaded body and two wings that extend from the body. The wings are used to turn the nut by hand. Wing nuts are typically made of metal, but they can also be made of plastic or other materials.

Wing nuts are available in a variety of sizes and styles. The most common type of wing nut is the flat wing nut. Flat wing nuts have a flat surface on the head of the nut. This makes them easy to identify and prevents them from rolling away.

Other types of wing nuts include:

• Dome head wing nuts: These wing nuts have a domed head on the nut. This makes them more aesthetically pleasing than flat wing nuts.
• Locking wing nuts: These wing nuts have a locking mechanism that prevents them from loosening. Locking wing nuts are often used in applications where it is important to ensure that the fastener is secure.

Wing nuts are a versatile and easy-to-use fastener that can be used in a variety of applications. They are a good choice for applications where it is necessary to be able to quickly and easily remove the fastener.
