Subject: Re: Wing Nuts ??




Location: 31
I've used hand tightened wing nuts in the past, and noticed a problem with them coming loose. I switched to Nylock's, but then REALLY didn't like swinging the ratchet around by a bunch of batteries either, so I went back to the wing nuts with pliers deal.

I haven't had any issues with them coming loose when tightened properly with with a pair of pliers. However, part of my normal due diligence is to check them a few times during the year too... just a quick check by hand while looking things over.

It's certainly not rocket science, but can understand why first-timers would be a little nervous dealing with this stuff as well. That poor kid... I'm guessing he will be emotionally scarred for life.
