I've asked for sample boxes of ~20 nuts since it seems many people have never used a cone nut, especially a universal cone nut.Never used a cone nut before, but I would if I had free samples! :thumbsup:
3/8" for meI've asked for sample boxes of ~20 nuts since it seems many people have never used a cone nut, especially a universal cone nut.
If I can get samples, what size would you want, 1/4", 3/8", or 1/2"?

Do you expect the part to be:
1) Tapped? Yes, it would be useless otherwise
2) Have the cone attached? Yes
3) Fit both 1 1/2 and 1 5/8 strut? Yes 4) Have "teeth" to bite into the strut for vertical applications and not slip? would be nice
(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? yes
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?
cone nut
7) Do the features of a cone nut outweigh the price difference between a spring nut?
yes
8) Is price a major deciding factor in comparison to a spring nut?
no
9) Are you upset if the cone detatches from the nut during installation?
yes
10) Do you want the part plated with the lower corrosion resistant EG coating, or the higher corrosion resistant Gold coating?
couldn't care less about the plating
11) If there's something you like about the cone nut vs any other strut nut (spring, regular etc), what would it be? ease/speed of use
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!
Great!! looking forward to it. :thumbsup:I've been given approval to send out boxes of ten sample nuts to those in the US who have replied to this thread. I'm sorry I will not be able to ship outside of the US to those of you who are across the pond. I will also try to get some of the other posters from the initial thread who had not used the cone nuts, as I have two hundred sample nuts. All nuts will be 3/8" with the standard blue cone and GoldGalv coating. These nuts will have to be shipped back to me from the warehouse, so until I have them in hand I don't know when you will receive them. Once I have them, they will ship to you in a few days, but pulling them back from the warehouse may take a week or two to process the internal paperwork.
I'll PM everyone individually in the next day to get the name and address of where you would like the nuts shipped. :thumbsup:
