These nuts are used to make mechanical connections between mating objects to ensure that they are securely held together. They also add an appealing look to applications where the fasteners are visible. Thumb nuts are frequently used to secure panels, components or sub-assemblies that must be removed easily. They are also used in a variety of electrical & electronic applications, including lighting and the mounting of hardware inside electrical panels.
