Description

Square nuts are similar in function to hex nuts, but are square instead of hexagonal. This shape increases the contact surface, which can help loosen in certain applications. They are sometimes used in tight spaces as the square shape allows them to be tightened with pliers. Another application is used in metal ducts.
