Thumb Nuts

Thumb nuts work in the same way as thumb screws and the key feature and benefit is the same in both – they can be fastened and adjusted by hand. This makes thumb nuts particularly useful in any application that may require frequent maintenance, removal or reinstallation. Thumb nuts are available in an extensive range of sizes and types. Knurled thumb nuts are easier to tighten and loosen due to their knurled surface. They also come in collared versions to complement thumb screws. Flat thumb nuts are available to provide compact fixing elements in tight spaces. Due to the wide choice available and their ease of use, thumb nuts are seen across various industries and also domestic settings. Flat thumb nuts are useful for manual control applications. Steel is the most commonly used material for its corrosion resistance.
