Since they’re about 20% narrower, these locknuts fit in tight spaces where standard-profile nuts won’t fit. They combine a hex nut with a free-spinning lock washer, so you can twist them into place by hand and save on assembly time. Once the nut is against your material surface, tighten it down with a wrench or socket to get the teeth to bite. Although these nuts install more quickly than nylon-insert locknuts, they don’t hold up as well against vibration and can mar your material. As long as the washer stays intact, you can reuse them. Also known as Keps and K-lock nuts.
18–8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these locknuts resist rust. However, they won’t hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
