Wing nut (or butterfly nut, butterfly wing nut) is a hand-tightened nut fastener. It has ear-like wings on both sides, shaped like a butterfly, making it easy to hand-tighten. It has two shapes of square and rounded wings, and the process is divided into casting butterfly nut and stamping butterfly nut. Wing nuts are easier to install than hexagonal nuts and can be quickly installed/disassembled without tools. It is widely used in scenarios where frequent adjustments are required and is characterized by simple operation and efficient installation.
