Wing nuts are versatile and best suited for applications that require frequent removal or adjustments. A wing nut has an internally threaded middle section with a ‘wing’ on each side to allow quick and convenient tightening by hand. They are easily installed and removed, without any tools at all. The connection will not be secure like that of a locknut, but rather is intended to be more temporary in nature. They can be found in sports equipment, DIY projects, and some automotive applications. Fasteners Etc offers standard sizes in plain steel and zinc plated.
