These nuts are half the height of standard hex nuts, and have closely spaced threads to prevent loosening from vibration. Half as strong as medium-strength steel nuts, they are often used for light-duty applications, such as fastening signs in place.

These nuts tighten when turned to the left; once fastened, they resist loosening from counterclockwise motion. Made of Grade 2 and Class 04 steel, these nuts can be used for fastening panels and other light duty fastening applications.

Made with fine-pitch threads, vibration is less likely to loosen these metric nuts than those with coarse-pitch threads since the threads sit closer together. Also called jam nuts, they are roughly half the height of standard hex nuts, so they’re good for applications with low clearance.

These metric nuts are made of 316 stainless steel and half as tall as regular hex nuts—use them around chemicals and salt water when space is limited.

Made from brass, these metric nuts are corrosion resistant in wet environments, electrically conductive, and nonmagnetic. About half the height of standard hex nuts, they are useful in low-clearance applications but have less tensile strength.

With a shorter hex height than standard DIN 985 locknuts, these nylon-insert locknuts meet international ISO 10511 dimensional standards and are easy to install in tight spaces.

Use these thumb nuts in low-clearance applications or jam one against another nut to hold it in place.

These metric thumb nuts are corrosion resistant in wet environments, electrically conductive, and nonmagnetic. The flange distributes pressure over a large area to reduce stress on your part.

These thumb nuts have an aluminum insert to withstand more torque than plastic thumb nuts during installation.

About half the strength and two-thirds the height of medium-strength steel square nuts, use these metric nuts in light duty, low-clearance applications.
