Square Nuts are characterized by their four-sided design, which offers better surface grip and greater load distribution compared to hex nuts. This design reduces the chances of rounding off under torque and makes them ideal for use in assemblies that require higher clamping forces. Square nuts are often paired with square head bolts or machine screws but can also be used with standard bolts. Available in standard and thin (jam) types, they are a preferred choice in both industrial and decorative applications where strength and aesthetics are important.
