Hillman Zinc Steel Pushnut Bolt Retainers for Assembly, 3/8 in, 100 Pack

Product Description Hillman Pushnut Bolt Retainers are temporary fasteners that hold a pre-inserted bolt in place until final assembly. When a bolt has to sit in its hole waiting for the mating part, this retainer keeps it from sliding out or dropping free, so parts line up quickly and cleanly on an assembly line or a repair bench without chasing loose hardware. Sized for a three-eighths-inch bolt with a twenty-five thirty-seconds of an inch outer diameter, the retainer pushes on over the end of the bolt by hand, no tools needed. Its formed spring teeth grip the bolt in one direction, holding it firmly in place for temporary placement while still allowing the final nut or part to be driven on. Made from spring steel with a protective zinc plating, the retainer grips reliably and resists rust and corrosion. It holds its spring tension through handling, storage, and vibration, so it keeps bolts captive dependably in the shop, the plant, or the field rather than relaxing or corroding and letting a fastener work loose. Use these retainers in automotive, appliance, and industrial assembly wherever a bolt needs to be held in position before it is torqued down. They are a fast, low-cost way to keep fasteners captive during production and repair. This one-hundred-piece pack keeps a generous supply on hand for assembly and manufacturing work. From the Manufacturer Pushnut Bolt Retainers are temporary fasteners that hold pre-inserted bolts in place until they reach final assembly. Just push on and they will hold firmly in place.
