    With a range of sizes on hand, you can use these assortments to fasten a variety of parts. The nylon insert grips the screw to prevent loosening from moderate vibration without damaging threads. However, the insert may become brittle if exposed to high temperatures. These locknuts are reusable a handful of times, but the holding power decreases with each use.
    Zinc-Plated Steel—A step up from plain steel, the zinc plating withstands occasional exposure to moisture.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these locknuts resist rust. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.

    With a range of sizes on hand, you can use these assortments to fasten a variety of parts. These locknuts combine a hex nut with a free-spinning lock washer, so you can twist them into place by hand and save on assembly time. Once the nut is against your material surface, tighten it down with a wrench or socket to get the teeth to bite. Although these nuts install more quickly than nylon-insert locknuts, they don't hold up as well against vibration and can mar your material. As long as the washer stays intact, you can reuse them. Also known as Keps and K-lock nuts.
