Thumb Nuts / Wing Nuts

The easiest nuts to twist on and off by hand. Wings give you more leverage than knurled-head nuts, so you can apply greater torque and achieve a tighter fit. Commonly used to fasten parts that need to be frequently disassembled, such as access panels and covers.

• Style 1 / Stamped— The most common, lightweight stamped wing nut for general use.
• Style 4 (Forged)— Cold-forged for higher strength; meets DIN 315.
• Heavy Duty— Thicker, taller wings and base resist stress and won't weaken.
• Nylon-Insert— A nylon insert prevents loosening from vibration.
• Flanged— Built-in flange distributes pressure—no separate washer needed.
• Assortment— A range of sizes on hand for varied equipment fastening.
• Finish-Your-Own— Unfinished blanks you can plate, paint, or customize.
