Which nuts for bolts should I pick?

Nyloc Nuts

Nyloc nuts, also known nylon-insert lock nuts or polymer-insert lock nuts, are a type of nuts with a nylon collar insert. The insert increases friction on the screw which results in a better grip and prevents it from loosening over time. This makes nyloc nuts ideal for applications where nuts could become undone due to motion or vibration. For example, in vehicles, motors, and computers.

Domed Nuts

Domed nuts offer a clean, capped appearance. They are ideal for applications when the end of a projecting screw thread needs to be covered.

Hexagon Nuts

Hexagon nuts, or hex nuts provide a strong reliable hold. These are the most common type of nuts that are easy to tighten and loosen due to their hexagonal shape. They are widely used across all industries for various projects.

Wing Nuts

Wing nuts feature side wings that make them easy to tighten and remove by hand. These are light-duty nuts not ideal for use if the vibration is present.
