A tight nut is a self-locking nut that prevents loosening by increasing friction and its internal structure. Xiaoguo®'s clamp nuts are made of hardened steel to clamp the bolt firmly and prevent rust. They are often used in heavy-duty jobs - such as machinery, pipelines or construction equipment.
Tight nut grips the bolt hard so that doesn’t shake loose, even with heavy shaking or constant stress. Regular nuts slip over time-these use stuff like nylon bits or squashed threads to lock in place. They can be used anywhere that bolts are impacted, such as: cars, machines, factory equipment.
A tight nut’s design focuses on grip and resistance. Many have wider bases or flanges to distribute pressure, while others use nylon rings to lock threads in place. Tight nut locks bolt in place, even with constant shaking or heavy loads. Regular ones slip—these use nylon bits or mashed-up threads to stay put. Use on cars, machinery, and equipment that has looseness issues.

The tight nut’s main advantage?
Tight nut stays put. No constant re-tightening or worries about bolts shaking loose. Its locking design—whether through nylon, thread distortion, or flange grips—adds extra friction to keep connections secure. It’s also built to handle rough conditions like heat, moisture, or heavy loads. No fancy features, just a nut that does its job without fuss.
