Has anyone used these babies? I only learned of their existence yesterday.
I was at the bolt shop yesterday & wanting something better than nyloc nuts to secure the canopy on my Patrol. Nylocs have been ok, but have needed regular retightening, as have Nylocs + spring washers. Bolt shop said next step up was 'cone' nuts, but they didn't have any in the size/thread to suit the bolts I had (M12 metric fine/1.25 pitch/ high tensile 10.9) but mentioned the Nord Lock washers as being a step up from cone nuts. They had a demo, tighten a wing nut up to just finger tight & then try to undo. The effort needed to undo was quite impressive, so much so I bought 10 washers at $3.50 each! Have fitted all the new bolts today (replacing a mish mash of different bolts requiring several different spanners!) together with the Nord Lock washers & nylocs - fingers crossed.
