Nuts

A weld nut, also known as a weldable nut or projection weld nut, is a type of fastener designed to be welded onto a metal workpiece. These nuts have a threaded hole surrounded by a circular flange with small projections or spots. The flange provides a larger surface area for welding, while the projections help to ensure proper alignment and provide additional strength during the welding process.

Weld nuts are often used in applications where a strong and permanent threaded connection is required, particularly in metal fabrication and construction. They are commonly welded onto sheet metal, plates, or structural components to create a threaded attachment point for bolts, screws, or studs. Weld nuts are available in various shapes, sizes, and materials to accommodate different welding techniques and load requirements. Proper welding procedures and techniques are crucial to ensure the integrity and strength of the weld joint.

An eye bolt is a type of fastener with a looped head, resembling an eye, at one end. This loop allows for a connection point, typically for attaching ropes, cables, or chains. The other end of the eye bolt is threaded, allowing it to be screwed into various materials such as wood, metal, or concrete. Eye bolts are commonly used for lifting, rigging, securing loads, and creating attachment points in various applications, including construction, marine, and industrial settings. They come in different sizes and materials to suit different load capacities and environmental conditions. Safety considerations, such as proper installation and load limits, are essential when using eye bolts to ensure their effectiveness and prevent accidents.

Square nuts are a type of nut (the hardware kind!) that have a square shape rather than the more common hexagonal shape. They're often used in conjunction with square-headed bolts or machine screws to prevent rotation when tightened. This design provides a secure and stable connection in various applications, particularly where vibration is a concern. Square nuts are commonly used in woodworking, metalworking, and construction projects.
