Half as thick as regular hex nuts, these nuts fit into spaces with low height clearances. They are about half as strong as medium-strength steel, and are often used for light duty applications, such as securing access panels. These nuts should be used for light duty fastening applications, such as securing access panels.

Which is stronger Class 10 or hex nuts?

These Class 10 nuts are about 25% stronger than medium-strength steel extra-wide hex nuts. 50% taller than standard hex nuts, these metric nuts provide a larger gripping area for installation with a wrench. A nylon insert keeps metric bolt threads from coming loose due to vibration, wear, and temperature swings.
