Value Collection 1-DET-10-M7- Iron Winged Thumb Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1-DET-10-M7- is an iron winged thumb screw designed for hand-tightened fastening applications where tools are not required. Built to UNC thread standards with a 5/16-18 thread size, this thumb screw features a winged head for reliable grip and finger-operated torque. The shoulder design provides a positive seating surface, making it well suited for clamping, adjustable assemblies, and jigs. The uncoated iron construction offers solid durability for general-purpose mechanical and industrial use. Licensed tradespeople and assembly technicians working with panel fixtures, guards, or equipment covers will find this a practical, no-tool fastening solution.

This thumb screw is appropriate for light-duty to medium-duty applications in residential and commercial settings. Typical uses include securing access panels, machine guards, electrical enclosure covers, and shop fixtures where frequent removal and reinstallation are needed. The winged head style is particularly useful in confined spaces where a flat-blade driver would be impractical. Installers in HVAC, electrical, and general maintenance trades commonly use thumb screws of this type to speed up routine service access.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose UNC thumb screw replacement for assemblies requiring a 5/16-18 threaded, winged-head fastener with shoulder.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools — the winged head is intended for hand tightening only. Do not apply wrench or plier torque to the head, as the wings are not designed for tool-applied loads. Ensure the mating thread is clean and free of debris before installation. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing panels or covers secured by this fastener.
