• Fastens panels, brackets, hinges and small assemblies to maintain proper alignment.

• Replaces missing, stripped or damaged nuts to restore secure mounting.
• Works where a flange provides extra bearing surface to resist loosening.

• Use the correct socket or wrench size to avoid rounding the nut; hand-start threads to prevent cross-threading.
• Do not overtighten; tighten until components are seated and secure.
• Replace any damaged mating fasteners or hardware to ensure a reliable repair.
