Wing Nuts Are Suitable For Fastening Needs In Multiple Industrial And Household Scenarios
I. Basic Overview
The wing nut is a fastener with double wing handles, with core materials being zinc alloy (e.g., Zamak 3, Zamak 5). Its double-wing structure enables quick manual tightening/loosening without the need for wrenches or other tools. The central threaded hole is compatible with connecting parts such as bolts and screws, and it is widely used in scenarios requiring frequent disassembly or quick fixation, balancing practicality, aesthetics, and moderate corrosion resistance.
