Iron and steel wing nuts are conductive, magnetic, and stronger than brass or plastic wing nuts. They offer less corrosion resistance than stainless steel, brass, or plastic.

Stainless steel wing nuts are as strong as iron or steel wing nuts with greater corrosion resistance. They are also conductive and magnetic like steel or iron wing nuts.

Brass wing nuts are corrosion-resistant and commonly used in wet or humid environments. They are conductive, non-magnetic, and stronger than plastic wing nuts.

Zinc alloy wing nuts offer similar corrosion resistance to stainless steel but they are not as strong as iron, steel, or stainless steel.

Plastic wing nuts are lighter and more corrosion-resistant than Iron or steel wing nuts. They are non-conductive and non-magnetic but are not as strong as metallic wing nuts.

These hygienic stainless steel wing nuts have sealing rings that meet FDA requirements for sanitary applications. They mount without dead space and their surface finish minimizes accumulation of dirt and dust. These wing nuts are corrosion resistant and suitable for food and pharmaceutical environments.

Stainless steel spade-head wing nuts have solid flat wings for easily loosening or tightening fasteners by hand. They have polished surfaces that prevent dust and dirt accumulation and meet hygienic requirements when used with USIT sealing and shim washers.
