Metric Shear Nuts Stainless Steel A2 (304)

Shear nuts, or breakaway nuts are a 1-way permanent security solution where maintenance is not required. They are designed to prevent unauthorised tampering or removal of parts and equipment. Ideal for security fencing and the automotive industry.

The hexagon nut section is fully tightened with a standard spanner or socket until the pressure applied surpasses the maximum torque limit, which causes the hexagonal part of the nut to break off, leaving a plain tamper resistant cone shape which is extremely difficult to remove as there is nothing to grip
