At the \u003cstrong\u003eDIY Hardware Store\u003c\/strong\u003e, our spire nuts are available in the metric sizes used in automotive bodywork, appliance assembly, electronic enclosures, and general sheet metal fabrication where fast assembly is the priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA spire nut is shaped from a flat strip of spring steel with a central hole that's slightly smaller than the bolt thread - it clips over the bolt and the spring tension of the stamped teeth grips the thread with enough force for many light-duty applications without tightening with a tool. For higher loads, a nut or spire nut used as an assembly aid is replaced with a conventional nut for the final tightening. They're particularly useful in automotive trim and panel assembly where access to the back face of the panel is impossible once assembled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePush-on spring clip - no need to hold nut during assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrips bolt thread by spring tension for quick assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal where back-face access is impossible once assembled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsed in automotive trim, appliances, and electronic enclosures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetric sizes in spring steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable as singles for fastener matching and repair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"spire-nut","title":"Spire Nut (Sold as singles)","description":"\u003cp\u003eAchieve quick and secure panel fastening with our versatile Spire Nuts, also known as U-nuts or speed nuts.
