Who's used this universal cone nut? I need your help!
Let me first introduce myself, I'm Andy, an engineer over the process that manufactures, the 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" universal cone nuts for both 1 1/2" and 1 5/8" strut.

I hope the moderators will let me post as someone trying to help the community who use these products every day, and not as a plug for my particular brand. I will not mention names or brands, and in my last post, had various vendor's strut nuts in hopes of hearing what you guys like to use everyday even though most were not our products.
I'm currently working to improve the production process with the manufacturer, and one of the first peices of information I must gather is the "voice of the customer". What better place than a forum full of customers who handle these products every day?
Of course you don't have to read any further, but I'd ask that you help me help you.
Help me Help you, lol Jerry Mcguire.
I'd appriciate your input into what you expect of this product when you purchase it and install it in the field.
Do you expect the part to be:
1) Tapped?
2) Have the cone attached?
3) Fit both 1 1/2 and 1 5/8 strut?
4) Have "teeth" to bite into the strut for vertical applications and not slip?
(These all seem like given's to me, but I have to ask)
Other questions are more specific.
5) If a cone nut is available locally, do you choose it over a spring nut?
6) If you've used both a spring and a cone nut, do you prefer a cone nut over a spring nut due to ease of installation, no tangling, no spring poking thru the slots in the strut, no tipping, Or do you prefer the spring nut?
7) Do the features of a cone nut outweigh the price difference between a spring nut?
8) Is price a major deciding factor in comparison to a spring nut?
9) Are you upset if the cone detatches from the nut during installation?
10) Do you want the part plated with the lower corrosion resistant EG coating, or the higher corrosion resistant Gold coating?
11) If there's something you like about the cone nut vs any other strut nut (spring, regular etc), what would it be?
12) If there's something you do not like about the cone nut vs any other strut nut (spring, regular etc), what would it be?
Thanks for any input in advance!

10mm for me
Postage to UK may be a little prohibitive though. Over here it is springs or no springs....or springs and a pair of side cutters:laughing:
