Nuts 101 Overview - The Types of Fastener Nuts | Fasteners 101

[@shibiaofastener2240]

A very basic but very helpful video! LOVE it!

[@kenfetsko720]

Thanks Bob, your videos are money. Just got a job at nut/bolt supplier. I am a novice with this stuff. you explain the distinctions really well

[@AlbanyCountyFasteners]

You're very welcome! Thank you for your feedback.

[@ColdWarVet607]

For all my life I've never seen a jam nut used, unless of course they used a jam nut in place of the finish nut. Very nice presentation, will be watching more. Kids of today should get away from their games and facebook pages and learn to do something like how to put a nut and bolt together. I'd say being a tradesmen today will be excellent business as the last large generation of DIY'ers where born 60's, maybe some kids from 70's who worked with their Dad in the garage on their muscle of family car. No sex, no violence, no cursing, no explosions, no CGI, no interest by Millennial's.

[@williamhoughton2140]

Thanks for the information, some of these nuts are new to me , especially the wood working ones.

[@AlbanyCountyFasteners]

You're welcome! Thank you for your feedback.

[@lamonttblackshire1638]

Tha m you for this! Well done and comprehensive. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@kunjcshah]

Thanks Sir for providing this knowledge

[@garbo8962]

Great vidio. In all my years never heard of the last nut that you shown with the waxed threads. Looked like an ordinary Ny Lol nut. User them in Nam oh Hueys helichopters. They would only use them once brush throw away. Believe on the engine & transmission they used castle nuts with twisted safety wire.

[@TV-gy1nf]

Thanks for sharing. This is an awesome video and was very helpful to me!

[@AlbanyCountyFasteners]

Thanks for watching!

[@tonyc7352]

Good video, I learned a few things, thank you. One more type you didn't cover is a wire lock nut, an oldie but a goodie.

[@GG-sp1cq]

This is good but would me more helpful if on some of them the use/purpose of each was elaborated on a little more. For example, The security nut explanation was helpful, some other things though i had to separately look up like left hand nut, to find out that its threaded the opposite way. I actually thought it was for left handed people at first or something.. then I was like no that can't be it, and had to look it up seperately and wing nut, "used for many different type of applications" isn't very helpful. I separately found out it's for things that need to tightened and loosened pretty often ....etc :D

[@siddharthassinha]

Great video, learnt few new things.

[@AlbanyCountyFasteners]

Thanks for watching!

[@catherineahonsi4989]

excellent explanation for a beginner mechanic like me

[@AlbanyCountyFasteners]

Glad we could help! Thank you for your feedback.

[@em0_tion]

This is nuts 🤪 I'll see myself out...

[@leonelferreira_1]

Beat me to it

[@pilkjaer]

This guy knows his nuts. This is nuts how many nuts there are out there. I with there was some chart or diagram to be able to easy identify what type of nut one has.

[@saumilps]

Great video. One doubt, if I have a joint on 2 metal parts which are supposed to flex, but not loosen with repeated use, which nut should I use? Or should I just use a normal nut and weld it?

[@davidfalconer8913]

Galling seems to be VERY common with stainless steel Nylocks™ ( on stainless bolt ) any size ¼ inch ( M6 metric ) and bigger ... use dissimilar ( zinc plated / brass ? ) metal nuts or LOADS of antisieze compound ( you might not be able to get angle grinder in ! ) ...

[@russiaball]

Very good, thank you!

[@Squidbillies1000]

Great information!

[@AlbanyCountyFasteners]

Thanks!

[@deiterwakes1907]

Who would of thought you could wax your nuts to prevent seizure. Quite helpful thank you.

[@CmdrTigerKing]

I wax my nuts at leasrt every 2 months. or on special occasions to make things look nice

[@olenaerhardt7725]

What are torque specs for Stover Lock Nut? It will be applied to attach Lower Ball Joint to the Control arm (originally on rivets, which are removed, so no TSs in the manual for the car!)

[@jacquelinemoore7839]

What size wing nuts do they use for heavy duty wood that im planning to put in an aviary to build nest box's on?

[@Деловкепке]

👍 amazing video

[@AlbanyCountyFasteners]

Thanks for watching!

[@angelscrew2024]

Very helpful👍

[@mrgreezy1]

Bob looks like an effin gangster. Especially with all his nuts right there on the table. 💯

[@AlbanyCountyFasteners]

Thanks for watching! I'm just a guy who knows his hardware. As for the nuts, well, they're part of the job.

[@iansoma]

Interesting...., but.... I was hoping to find out what is the M2, M3...etc compared to the 1/8", 1/4",....etc sizes comparison.

[@DeWoodyard]

Intro cranks! Dialog less so, but makes you listen :)

[@YouCantSawSawdust]

"I have a whole lot of nuts on my table". Better than nuts on your chin,Mate.

[@irishamerican4558]

I know this is just an overview, but what is the bevel for on a square nut ?

[@RH-ms5ui]

very informative!

[@amireliad]

Hi, can you explain when it's better to use a nut + washer combination than a specialized nut?

[@johndias6614]

He doesn't explain the terms very well. A finish nut is a common nut used for most general applications.

[@vandalismovveganism2222]

So entertaining 🥱

[@AlbanyCountyFasteners]

Not everyone's cup of tea-nuts, I get it. But for those who need this info, it's pretty crucial. Thanks for giving it a shot.

[@lejendario100]

Very useful language ....

[@AlbanyCountyFasteners]

Thank you for your feedback.

[@YouCantSawSawdust]

No nitrile gloves in these clips......old school.👍

[@bramblebop1904]

So why do you need nylon locknuts if a regular nylon nut already has a locking effect due to its nylon insert?

[@AlbanyCountyFasteners]

I assume by "nylon nut" you're referring to a nut made entirely of nylon? The key difference between those nuts and the locknuts with the nylon insert is that the insert isn't threaded. The insert gets threaded as the screw is fastened through it. That's what creates the locking effect.

[@bramblebop1904]

No. I mean the two kinds of nuts with a nylon insert. Regular nut w/ an insert and a locknut w/ an insert. Why is the latter needed?

[@NebulaNeko86]

Hi, I don't even know if you will see this or be able to reply but I'm trying to change the brakes on my pushchair and it has what looks like carriage bolts but with a round kind of fastener the other side so I can't grip to unfasten it. I don't know how to unscrew it. Would be really grateful if you could point me in the right direction 🙏

[@AlbanyCountyFasteners]

We would need to know more about this pushchair and a more detailed description of the fasteners you're trying to remove to give you a better idea what to do. We recommend contacting our customer service with these details so we can try to help you better: www.albanycountyfasteners.com/contact-us.html

[@tajaheedwards1516]

If I had a 5/16-18Tpi stud , how would I know what size nut to use ?

[@AlbanyCountyFasteners]

It would be the sames size. So a 5/16-18 stud would be compatible with a 5/16-18 nut.

[@tajaheedwards1516]

@@AlbanyCountyFasteners Thank you , Lets say i only have a nut how will i measure that nut to know what size and thread nut it is?

[@AlbanyCountyFasteners]

The easiest way is to use a thread gauge like the ones we have here: www.albanycountyfasteners.com/gauges-measuring-tools/acf_cat_gauges_and_measuring_tools.htm For nuts, we like to use the thread gauges on wires and try to fasten the nut to the various sizes available.

[@CmdrTigerKing]

7:15 LUNCH BREAK!

[@MdAsif-zl4fq]

Which can be used in vibration prone area

[@AlbanyCountyFasteners]

Any of the Lock Nuts. They are designed to resist vibration and accidental loosening. I've included time stamps for the Lock Nuts shown in the video: 5:20 - Nylon Lock Nuts 7:29 - Stover Lock Nuts 7:56 - Two-Way Nuts 8:46 - Serrated Flange Nuts 9:29 - Keps K Lock Nuts There are other varieties of lock nuts, but these are some of the most common ones used to resist vibration.

[@MdAsif-zl4fq]

Thank you very much @Albany

[@DougAlesUSA]

0:24 “ Were going to start with finish nuts” I did not watch this entire video, but can someone tell me, did he end with starting nuts?

[@Iolis]

Is there such a thing as a large wall poster of the different types of nuts and bolts and the markiings used on boths standard and metric types? If so, where can I purchase one for my garage?

[@javajav3004]

i know not of such poster but you could make your own with corkboard and safteywire

[@DeWoodyard]

Captions got in the way (seldom).

[@brandonhorwath6351]

Christopher Walken explains nuts.

[@TheAngryCamper]

Quiet on the set quiet on the set lol

[@neilvercueil9119]

You should have just flipped the video - then the rights and lefts would have been erm.... right, right?

[@ellsworthm.toohey7657]

Inch crap, just good for the recycle bin. Easy to see, the pitch is too coarse, unscrew itself ! Avoid problems, only use metric.

[@jamescole3152]

Inches make America great. Keep metric out of here.

[@Lowlyfilm]

Are we sure it wasn’t 7/16-3/8? Jk hard to tell in video lol

[@AlbanyCountyFasteners]

Thank you for your feedback.

[@brandonh2981]

What a terrible lack of interest video I was starting to take notes until I skipped and serrated flange use purpose was "apply where u have metal".

[@Dinco422]

Thanks for all the info... but for fucks sakes... use the metric system

[@NuttyJun]

😈😈😈

[@pcxxy]

deez nutz...

[@AlbanyCountyFasteners]

Nuts are our business, but not that kind. Let's stick to the ones you can tighten with a wrench, alright? Thanks for watching.

Boring!

[@AlbanyCountyFasteners]

Fasteners: not everyone's idea of a thrill ride. But they've got their fans. Thanks for stopping by.
