They are known as &#8220;wing knobs&#8221; because they have a wing-like gripping surface. Like wing nuts, wing knobs are affixed with a perpendicular gripping surface on the top. To tighten or loosen a wing knob, you grip the top and turn it. If you&#8217;re thinking about buying wing knobs, you should consider the five following things.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1) Materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Wing knobs are available in different materials. Most of them, in fact, are made of at least two materials. Wing knobs typically feature a metal or alloy insert &#8212; the threaded shaft &#8212; as well as a plastic or polymer top. Regardless of how you intend to use them, you should consider the materials from which they are made.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2) Finish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Something else to consider when choosing wing knobs is the finish. The finish refects to the protective coating that&#8217;s applied to the exterior of a wing knob. Many wing knobs feature some type of protective finish. It helps to shield the wing knob&#8217;s underlying materials from environmental damage. At the same time, many finishes consist of a textured surface that increases the wing knob&#8217;s surface area so that it&#8217;s easier to grip and turn.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3) Cap Removal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You should consider the way in which the caps are removed when choosing wing knobs. The cap is the gripping surface or handle. While some wing knobs have a fixed cap, many of them have a removable cap. For those with a removable cap, check to see how the cap is removed. You may need to use a screwdriver to remove the cap. Placing a screwdriver into the top of the wing knob and turning it will often remove the cap.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#4) Cap Shape<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When choosing wing knobs, you should consider the shape of the cap. All wing knobs have a cap. The shape of the cap, however, can vary. Some of them have a T-shaped cap consisting of a perpendicular handle affixed to the top. Other wing knobs have an oval-shaped cap featuring a rounder shape. You can also find wing knobs with an ergonomically shaped &#8220;butterfly&#8221; cap.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#5) Tapped vs Stud<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Wing knobs are available in two primary styles: tapped and stud. Tapped wing knubs are those that feature interior threaded, whereas stud wing knobs are those that feature exterior threading around a shaft. You&#8217;ll need to choose the right type of wing knbobs for your application.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wing knobs offer a simple and ergonomic fastening solution for machinery, furniture and other objects.
