[pianotech] Wing nuts to square Nuts

I'm not sure why I would want to routinely swap out wing nuts for square nuts.  Both can be snugged up as tightly as necessary, especially if I reach for the vise grips.  And if something works loose, the customer can make a provisional fix instantly, rather than running for a tool.  What am I missing?

Hi, If I were to swap out wing nuts inside of a bench that connect the bench legs with square nuts, what size do I need? Are American and Asian bench bolts different sizes? I want to purchase some and carry them with me to swap them out when I encounter wing nuts. Thanks, BPD
