Push Nuts and Retainers

Push nuts and retainers protect against loosening or slipping and provide an aesthetic look to the protruding / exposed ends of threaded nuts, fasteners or bolts. These washers feature plastic / steel construction with 6 point contacts which align with the shaft circumference, ensuring maximum holding power and resistance against excessive vibration, increased torque, heat or corrosion. Texas Pneumatic Tools quick change retainers secure flat chisels and other attachments compatible with pneumatic hammers and are ideal for cutting metals, concrete or similar materials. These units can easily remove or exchange tools by pulling or releasing the sleeve. These products are available in black phosphate and zinc finish variants on Raptor Supplies.

• Push nuts and retainers are used in assemblies where fasteners may fall off without getting secured by a nut.
• They generally have teeth or grooves at an angle perpendicular to the shaft to grip the fastener securely.
• These teeth allow easy sliding on the shaft in one direction while resisting sliding motion in the reverse direction for superior holding power.
• They are easy to install.
• These retaining fasteners can temporarily hold an assembly together between assembly transits, before attaching high-strength fastening mechanisms like locknuts.
• Texas Pneumatic Tools quick-change retainers secure bits & attachments to barrels of pneumatic hammers. They thread onto the hammer barrel for quick installation.
