Mil. Spec. Low-Strength Steel Nylon-Insert Locknuts

Choose these locknuts for their adherence to strict military standards for material and construction. The nylon insert grips the bolt to resist loosening without damaging threads. These locknuts are reusable, but their holding power lessens with each use. A cadmium yellow-chromate plating provides corrosion resistance in wet environments and adds lubricity so they thread on smoothly.

Mil. Spec. 18-8 Stainless Steel Nylon-Insert Locknuts

Choose these locknuts for their adherence to strict military standards for material and construction. Made from 18-8 stainless steel, they have good chemical resistance and may be mildly magnetic. The nylon insert grips the bolt to resist loosening without damaging threads. They're reusable, but their holding power lessens with each use.
