Setup: To use the Uxcell Hex Nut, simply thread it onto a bolt or screw with a matching 3/8"-16 thread. Use a wrench or socket that fits the hex head to tighten the nut securely. Ensure the bolt or screw is properly seated before tightening to avoid cross-threading.

Care: While 304 stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance, it is recommended to clean the nuts periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could potentially damage the surface. For long-term storage, keep them in a dry environment.
