Types of nuts and bolts

Bolts can hold things together firmly with the help of nuts that wrap around them to keep them in place. We’ve assembled a list outlining types of nuts and bolts in case you are planning to buy these industrial supplies for your project:

• Carriage bolt: This has a rounded head and a square section under the head. This can be used to connect pieces of wood.
• Hex bolt: This has a hexagonal head and is threaded either on its entire body or on just a portion of its length. A hex bolt is usually applied with the help of a wrench.
• Square nut: This is four-sided and may be flat or bevelled on top. Square nuts provide a greater contact area which allows more resistance to loosening.
• Wingnut: This is a threaded nut with wings on each side of the body to enable manual turning and installation. Wing nuts are ideal in situations where materials need to be removed or replaced often.
