Wing Nut FAQs

Can a wing nut be tightened with a spanner?

No. Wing nuts are made for hand tightening only. For a high clamping force, use a hex nut.

How do I choose the right wing nut size?

Choose the same thread as the bolt or stud, for example an M8 wing nut for an M8 bolt. Then check the wing span in the table above, so that there is room for your fingers to turn the nut.

Are wing nuts suitable where there is vibration?

Not on their own, because a hand-tightened nut has a low clamping force and can work loose. Add a spring washer under the wing nut, or use a nylock nut where the part does not need to be opened by hand.
