Craftsman String Trimmer Fastener

A flange nut's unique wide flange design distributes the nut's pressure over the part it is securing. In return, it creates an even fastening surface, which reduces part damage and nut loosening. This one-piece all-metal fastener has a lock nut version that features a protruding circular flange. This drastically increases bearing surface, compatibility either for irregular or oversized holes, and surface tension reduction. Flange lock nuts are the preferred type of fastener for many lawnmower models because it can provide better fastening than regular screws, which are known to loosen under extreme vibration. However, it’s important to know that flange lock nuts are susceptible to wear and tear due to constant vibration exposure. It is essential to replace the broken flange lock nut immediately to prevent serious damage to the lawnmower.
