If we could all stop using wrenches on the wing nut wings and snapping them off that would be great. Either get the wing nuts with the wrench base or hand tighten only!

I've seen the upper 3/4 in actual use. The square is ancient.
And still in use in server racks, though not as originally designed.
This fella is nuts.
I already lost NNN 🥺🥺
Last year I lost the 29 November 😔😔 This year I will win
That's 16 nuts in a 30 day month. It's not no nut November and it's not non stop nut November, it's intermittent nut November.
Or, if you prefer,
No nut, nut, no nut, nut, no nut, nut, no nut, nut, no nut, nut, no nut, nut, no nut, nut, no nut, nut, no nut, nut, no nut, nut, no nut, nut, no nut, nut, no nut, nut, no nut, Nut, Nut, NUT.
Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't.
Any regular hex nut works just fine as a jam nut. Basically, a jam nut is when you jam two nuts together. (It is gay, because the nuts do touch.)
And note that those nylon inserts kinda only work once. The bolt carves a thread into the insert when you insert it, so it will be weaker the second time you insert it.
Honorable mention: cage nuts. A square nut, permanently attached to a fastener that can snap into a special square hole in a 19 inch server rack. When you tighten the bolt against the nut, it tightens against the fastener, so that the nut, bolt, and fastener are secure against the square hole.
I hate nylocks. They are such a bitch to work with in my experience
How so? I use the hell out of them, they're much nicer than using a lock washer
You can't easily spin them in hard to reach places, making it difficult to attach or take a long time to fasten/remove
Tee Nuts are annoying coz there are also T Nuts, which are used in aluminium extrusion channels. And there's also Tea Nuts which are nuts you put in tea if you are low on iron.
Tee-hee nuts are better tbh
Wow I never knew no nuts like I know nuts now!
Finally a voice of reason - I don't know which psychos are giving up screwing for a whole month, but I have things to fasten.
I'm screwing up my life everyday.
You don't need to screw to nut.
In a pinch you can just crank on it until you're satisfied.
