With a Self-Threading Acorn Shaft Retainer, there is no thread to find and no binding from dirt or damaged threads. Because of their prevailing torque, these fasteners provide excellent vibration resistance. Stud materials, which must be appreciably softer than that of the fasteners, include die cast zinc, aluminum, molded plastics, steel and brass.
