    Add permanent threads to thin panels in seconds. The knurls on these clinch-style nuts deform and grip sheet metal to create a permanent hold. Push them into a drilled or punched hole with an arbor press around your workpiece to install—no messy welding required.

    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these nuts resist rust and mild chemicals.
