Hillman Zinc-Plated Steel Push-On Axle Cap Nuts 1/2-Inch Axle, 12 Pk

Product Description Hillman Push-On Axle Cap Nuts retain a wheel on a plain, unthreaded axle without any threading or tools. Sized to fit a 1/2 inch axle, the cap pushes onto the shaft end and grips it, so a wheel, roller, or caster spins freely yet cannot work its way off, which is exactly how wheels are held on carts, mowers, and light equipment. Inside the cap, spring teeth angle inward and bite the axle as the cap is pressed or tapped on. They let the cap slide on but dig in against pull-off, locking it in place. The smooth domed top then covers the cut end of the axle for a clean, finished look with no sharp shaft end left exposed to snag or scratch. Stamped from steel with a protective zinc plating, the cap nut resists rust and corrosion for dependable indoor and outdoor use. It keeps its spring grip and clean appearance on equipment that lives outside, so a repaired wheel stays secure on a mower, cart, or wheelbarrow through seasons of use. Use these cap nuts for wheelbarrows, hand trucks, wagons, lawn mowers, carts, casters, and toys where a wheel rides on a plain axle. Match the cap to the axle diameter for a secure grip, and press it on square so the spring teeth seat evenly. This 12-piece pack provides a ready supply for wheel repair and replacement projects around the home, yard, and shop. From the Manufacturer A push nut has no threading but has an inward facing flange. The flange is meant for quick assembly as no tools are needed, the nut can be pushed into place. This is meant to be a permanent application unless specific tools are obtained to cut them off.
