Trev's Vintage Machine Shop

This is a set of 1/4 UNF, 3/8 UNF & 1/2 UNF (Unified Fine) Aerotight locking nuts, made from stainless steel.

Each nut is an all-metal locking nut that grips the male thread, holding the nut safely and securely in position. They resist coming loose under vibration or torque. These distorted thread locking nuts are superior to nyloc nuts because they retain their locking ability at high temperatures, and they can be safely reused.

These are available in the following sizes:
