This Reliable 12 point washer nut is widely used in heavy machinery, such as construction equipment, hydraulic machines and large manufacturing systems. Its main function is to fix high-strength bolts, especially those that are subjected to a large amount of vibration and torque.
Inside this washer, there is a washer that can distribute the clamping force over a larger area. This can prevent the soft material from being damaged and prevent the connection from loosening. Therefore, it is an indispensable component for critical connection points - that is, those parts with the highest safety and reliability requirements. It ensures that the machine can operate smoothly even in difficult situations.
In the automotive manufacturing industry, especially when assembling the chassis, engine brackets and wheel bearing systems, the Reliable 12 point washer nut and bolt is a reliable fastening method that can complete the fixation task with high torque.
Compared to ordinary hexagonal nuts, its 12-point design enables the use of a wrench even in a smaller space. This is very practical when the working space is limited. Moreover, cars will continuously vibrate, and this nut can firmly lock to cope with such vibrations. By preventing components from loosening over time, it directly optimizes the safety of automotive assemblies and significantly extends their overall durability.

Q: What is the main advantage of using a Reliable 12 point washer nut compared to a standard hex nut?
A:The main plus of a Reliable 12 point washer nut is that you can apply high torque with a tool that doesn’t need a lot of swing space.
Its 12-point design lets the tool grip it at twice as many angles—every 30 degrees, actually—unlike a regular hex nut. That’s why it works so well when there’s not much room to maneuver. Additionally, it has built-in washers – a design that distributes the clamping force so it doesn’t damage the surface it’s attached to.
Put those two things together, and this nut is better for high-strength, precise jobs—like in the aerospace or automotive industries.
