Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought these because the nut holding one of the sensors on my Destroyer Pedal, which is an excellent after-market RockBand pedal, came off and went missing.
These solved the problem and are self-locking so they shouldn't come off under the vibrations caused by using the pedal. I only needed one nut but having 4 extras plus free 2nd day shipping due to Prime sealed the deal for me.
Due to the outrageous shipping cost, which is twice the price of the item itself, I would have rated this item as 4 stars but I got free shipping with Prime. :-)

Lock Nuts are commonly used when spinning of components would be a problem.They are designed to interlock with the locking surface for a secure hold, without slippage.Hex drive systems are driven with a wrench.The steel used in these fasteners has a tensile strength ranging from 100,000 to 150,000 psi (pounds per square inch).Chrome Plating helps to prevent corrosion. A threaded fastener's size name includes information about the major external diameter, followed by the threads per inch, which indicates if it is coarse or fine.Coarse threads are better when working with brittle materials; they are sturdier and are easier to thread and unthread compared to fine.Coarse threading also allows for thicker coatings and platings.
