[QUOTE="Nimrod Webber, post: 39062, member: 241"] Re: Favorite claws/clamps for small fixtures? Or… As there is actually no reason or need for the wing nut to be removed completely from the bolt... Give the last few threads of the bolt a blow with a hammer (against an anvil or a makeshift one - a second heavier hammer...) just enough to spoil the threads a little, thus preventing the wing nut from undoing completely and getting lost. I have been doing this to all my clamps of this type for years and never lose a wing nut. :)~:-)~:smile: [/QUOTE]
