Always use the correct wrench or socket, and know if your nut has a right or left handed thread. Let's not bust any nuts this month.

Clearly we need to get you some proper lubricant. A good penetrating oil, perhaps.

[-] 1847953620@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Coupling is my favorite. It's like docking for machines

I hate wingnuts, they were always screwed on so tight when I wanted to take these off of random things as a kid. If I ever see another wingnut, it's screwed. This post reminded me of my hatred towards them, thank you, I will internalize the hate and wield it as a power of doom and destruction against the oldest-known metallic foe. #screwwings #bottomking #2023 #internalizethehate

Just get a wing nut socket/driver and treat them like any other nut.

You need a t slot extrusion nuts too! And there are several variations.

This guy nuts

[-] Kyyrypyy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

You should make an image chart about them.

What about whatever spikes truck drivers put on their bolts? They look sharper than acorns.

[-] EvacuateSoul@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

They're just plastic, the real lug nuts are underneath. We have a hexagonal plastic handle to slide over to take them off before removing a wheel.

[-] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 2 points 1 year ago

But I still want to see the Ben-hur bolts.

And unlike screw head shapes, all of them serve an actual useful purpose

[-] ares35@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

need another 14 to get through the whole month.

[-] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

Drilled shank fasteners sounds vaguely kinky.

[-] lolola@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago

Might be fun to use these as search terms on rule 34

[-] Vidar@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

Don't forget to use them with those special screws.

[-] LordAmplifier@pawb.social 5 points 1 year ago

Does anybody want to use a coupling together? 😳 👉👈

[-] FabledAepitaph@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

This is nuts

Acorn

type of cap nut used for appearance

[-] twinnie@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

What about cage nuts?

[-] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

I don't know what side of debates I'd take there, but the possibility it would be our own column drama like in OG r/196 brings me joy, turning my cap into an acorn.
