ForgeFix Wing Nut Zp M12 Forgepack 10

These Forgefix wing nuts are a practical alternative to standard hex nuts, allowing for hand tightening without the need for wrenches or other tools. The nuts are bright zinc plated to enhance corrosion resistance and are also known as thumb screws due to their two large metal wings that make tightening and loosening easier. Application: Anywhere a hand-tightened fastening is required. They are used when frequent adjustments are necessary or when parts need to be quickly removed later. They can be used with all threaded bolt products. Zinc coatings prevent oxidation of the protected metal and provide a longer-lasting surface. This is achieved by forming a barrier and acting as a sacrificial anode when that barrier is damaged. Zinc oxide is a fine, white powder that (unlike iron oxide) does not cause degradation of the substrate's surface integrity upon formation. When intact, zinc oxide can act as a barrier against further oxidation, similar to the protection that aluminum and stainless steel provide through their oxide layers.
