Clearly we need to get you some proper lubricant. A good penetrating oil, perhaps.
already got two cans
Coupling is my favorite. It's like docking for machines
I hate wingnuts, they were always screwed on so tight when I wanted to take these off of random things as a kid. If I ever see another wingnut, it's screwed. This post reminded me of my hatred towards them, thank you, I will internalize the hate and wield it as a power of doom and destruction against the oldest-known metallic foe. #screwwings #bottomking #2023 #internalizethehate
Just get a wing nut socket/driver and treat them like any other nut.

This guy nuts

But I still want to see the Ben-hur bolts.
And unlike screw head shapes, all of them serve an actual useful purpose
need another 14 to get through the whole month.
What about cage nuts?
Might be fun to use these as search terms on rule 34
Drilled shank fasteners sounds vaguely kinky.
Does anybody want to use a coupling together? 😳 👉👈

I don't know what side of debates I'd take there, but the possibility it would be our own column drama like in OG r/196 brings me joy, turning my cap into an acorn.
