[pianotech] Wing nuts to square Nuts

[Gerald Groot]

If they are working themselves loose, try putting a lock washer in.  That
will help.  I prefer the wing nuts myself.

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
