A Wing Nut Sawllowtail Nut is a type of fastener that is typically used in applications where quick and easy adjustments or removals are required, such as securing objects or equipment. The wing nut derives its name from its distinctive shape, which features two “wings” or projections on either side of the nut, which are designed to be easily gripped and turned by hand.

Wing nuts are often used in conjunction with threaded bolts or screws, and can be easily installed or removed without the need for any tools. This makes them a popular choice for applications where frequent adjustments or changes are required.

Wing nuts are available in a variety of materials and sizes, depending on the specific application they will be used for. They can be made from materials such as steel, stainless steel, brass, or plastic, and are typically sized according to the diameter of the bolt or screw they will be used with.

One of the primary uses of fastener cap nuts is to cover the exposed end of a bolt or screw, providing a smooth, rounded surface that is less likely to snag or catch on clothing or other objects. The cap nut can also help to prevent corrosion and damage to the threaded end of the bolt or screw.
