Wing nuts are tool box essentials — perfect fasteners for quickly and easily tightening on a bolt to secure a wide variety of equipment, furnishings and more. Wing nuts fit easily in any tray or drawer, so it’s easy to keep them handy in your workshop. At Lowe’s, we carry a variety of both stainless steel and nylon wing nuts.
Wing nuts, or butterfly nuts, get their name from a pair of wing-shaped extensions on the base of the fastener. To install a wing nut, screw it onto the threads of a bolt. The wings make it easy to tighten and loosen wing nuts, and that makes them ideal for applications where frequent adjustment is necessary — such as in the assembly of office chairs, machinery hoods and gym equipment.
You can also pair wing nuts with bolts for quick fastening on bicycles, drum kits and plumbing systems, among other uses. Wing nut options include zinc and brass finishes for protection against corrosion, fine or coarse threads, and a broad selection of sizes in both standard and metric measurements to match your project's needs.
