Review on Ideal Coarse Square Nuts - Hard-to-Find Fastener 014973314538, 3/8-16 (Pack of 20) by Andy Quade

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Threaded hole drilled at an angle

The holes in these nuts are not drilled perpendicular to the base of the nut. When tightening the nut into a flat aluminum T-slot piece, the nuts will not snug the metal making the attachments unstable as the nuts lean in. Importantly enough, the natural play of the threads is not enough to take up the error.This can be normal on softer materials like wood, but not on metal projects.

Pros
  • Diameter: 3/8"
Cons
  • Poorly thought out
