Irregularly shaped threads at the top of these locknuts grip the screw for a stronger hold than nylon-insert locknuts. Although the threads prevent the nut from backing out due to vibration, they also increase the effort to install and remove. To get these nuts off, you may need special tools, such as an impact wrench or propane torch. Nuts are not reusable.
High-Strength Steel—Rated Grade 8, Grade C, or Class 10, these locknuts are about 25% stronger than medium-strength steel nuts. To avoid stripped threads during installation, make sure your screw has a comparable strength rating.
Zinc-Flake-Coated Steel—The most durable zinc coating, this multilayer finish resists wear for long-term rust protection. However, similar to zinc-yellow-chromate plating, it won't hold up to harsh chemicals like stainless steel can.
