About this deal

These Thin Type Thumb Screws are typically utilised within mechanical assemblies or situations where regular maintenance is necessary. Offering anti-bacterial properties, Brass is a great for use in and medical applications or equipment where the spread of germs needs to be avoided.

Thumb screw thread gauge and diameter are typically stated in metric units in the UK. Elsewhere, measurements given in inch sizes may be more widespread. Common sizes that fit the threaded holes in a wide variety of everyday UK devices, panels and covers include M6 thumb screws, M4 knurled thumb screws, M8 thumb screws, and M12 thumb screws. Thumb screws are not intended for structural applications for obvious reasons – you need permanent fasteners for that. Typically, thumb screws should be avoided for applications that will vibrate, as they’re vulnerable to loosening. Some thumb screws do come with a Phillips slotted head – you can learn more about these heads in What are screw heads, drives and threads?Generally, it’s the slotted head thumb screws, coupled with washers, that can be used for some high-vibration applications. Most thumb screws come in either long or very short lengths, depending on the application where they are needed. To choose the best thumb screw for the task, it is important to bear in mind certain characteristics such as length, diameter, and thread size.

Knurled head thumb screws are one of the most common applications of this technique, which can be found on many types of stainless steel or nylon nuts, screws and bolts. The pattern of bumps, ridges or notches allows for much-improved friction between fingers and the otherwise smooth edges of the thumb screw. Thumb Screw Knobs Brass screws and bolts are a popular choice for a range of applications and assemblies due their diverse set of characteristics. This is dependent on the specific type or grade of Brass.

Typically used as light- fixture thumb screw and found in musical instruments and mechanical assemblies. These decorative thumb screws also resist corrosion. Thumb screws are best used in applications where the fastener doesn't need to be torqued excessively tightly.

Exactly what is a thumb screw? It’s a type of fastener with a large, easy-to-grip head that you can tighten and untighten by hand. It’s typically used in two scenarios:

cheaper options with no signature required. The no signature required options are at the customer’s risk once the goods leave our store. Knurled bolts and screws of this type are so-called because of the knurling pattern - a series of machined ridges or bumps - found around the screw head. Knurling is a widespread manufacturing technique for improving grip or torque force on a huge array of hand-installed components and fasteners.
