Snap these nuts into square holes in thin material. Threads float inside the retainer so you can install a bolt at a slight angle to align off-center parts. Mounting legs expand to lock the fastener in place. Install them by hand or with pliers.
Black-phosphate steel nuts are mildly corrosion resistant in dry environments.
Zinc-plated steel nuts resist corrosion in wet environments.
