A special spring steel nut (also called a plate nut or speed nut) shaped somewhat like a “G” or “U.” It clips over the edge of a sheet metal plate to provide a threaded attachment for a screw where the metal plate is otherwise too thin to thread. have I heard...
Thanks for the two random pictures that have a bunch of doubles and don't even including important ones that people actually use like a lock nut or a T-nut. Or the bottom of a flange nut which is the important part. This post is nuts.
Norwegian kids try to use theyr smartphones to tighten a nut on their bike. I have heard. A wrench is just for smart kids? No smart phones is for smart kids? ??
IKEA often use barrel nuts. So the idea is to hold the bolt in place with a screwdriver and then fasten two wood pieces together with a long bolt and it tightens up.
Then some german: "Eine verrückte Flügelmutter" "Verrückt" means crazy, but the root word rücken means to move something. A "verrückte Mutter" is a nut that is misaligned or crooked.
Totally missed wing nuts. I recently went on an odyssey trying to find a wing nut. My go to hardware store closed @ 2 years ago. The other h/w store in town had 3 wing nut last December. I needed 4, but I bought the 3 they had. Went back a month later - no wing nuts. Miffed, but they're not critical, yet. Went back in May and they still had not been restocked. So I went to the h/w store in the next town. It was a Saturday and they close at 2pm. It was 2:30 when I got there.
... OK, I'll try Home Depot. They don't even have wing nuts. Head to Lowe's, but they don't have the size I'm looking for. So, on Monday, after work, I stop into the h/w store in that town, which my manager says sucks, and finally find my elusive 5/16 wing nut.
Or the nuts into which door latch bolts on a Dodge Grand Caravan thread, and if the nut(s) pop out of the cage, you need to cut into the lower b-pillar to retrieve it (good fucking luck!) or insert new ones via a long wire or rod, and a hell of a lot of patience and luck.
Server racks. Especially when it's used or from who knows where. Sure sometimes they go in properly easy. But when they don't and it's already mounted somewhere awkward...

Then some german: "Eine verrückte Flügelmutter"
"Verrückt" means crazy, but the root word rücken means to move something. A "verrückte Mutter" is a nut that is misaligned or crooked.
prestekragen
«Mutter mit Flügeln – festgezogen oder durchgedreht?»
(Mother/nut with wings - well tightened or totally crazy?)
prestekragen
Ger. Mutter = Eng. Mother = Norw. Mutter (Mother) = Norw. Mutter (Nut)
to make it more confusing.

Turns out all the hardware stores were closed, so you had to go to Imgur instead. Plenty of wingnuts here, but none of them fit an M6 bolt!

Me searching for a wingnut on a Saturday is a great way to realize that the only loose nut around... is me.

I printed one, then had like 5 people ask for one. They work way better than you would think.

Yeah, I tried to use some when building a van. Never worked, always loose. But Insert Nuts were fantastic, even in square holes.
