Square nut with large across flats is a heavy duty fastener designed for use in high load environments. Its oversized surface (opposite side) enhances the wrench's grip on the nut and torque control. It is commonly used to secure bolts in construction, machinery or agricultural equipment.
Square nut with large across flats has a powerful grip. The wider sides allow for closer contact with the wrench. They are often used in mechanical repair or trailer assembly. We make nuts from ordinary carbon steel without extra special coating.
