Buyer Questions
Frequently asked questions
When should I use a square nut instead of a hex nut?
Square nuts make sense when the nut needs to seat in a square pocket (preventing rotation), when wider wrenching surface is needed for hand-wrench tightening, or when matching historical/aesthetic style. For most general fastening, hex remains the default.
