Nuts

Nuts are essential fasteners used across a number of applications, including construction, automotive work and DIY projects. Designed to pair with bolts and threaded rods, they help securely join materials together, creating strong and reliable connections. Tractor Supply stocks nuts in SAE and metric sizes for structural builds, equipment repairs and routine maintenance around your property. Whether you’re working with wood, metal or composite materials, our selection ensures stability and long-term performance.

Small Fasteners That Keep Assemblies Tight

A nut threads onto a bolt or stud to draw two surfaces together, creating the grip that holds a joint in place. That grip gets stronger as the nut tightens against the material, and a snug fit is what keeps the joint from shifting or pulling apart under stress.

We carry nuts designed to meet the demands of your project, offering a wide variety of types, sizes and materials to ensure a perfect fit. Choose from durable materials, including stainless steel for corrosion resistance, zinc-plated options for added protection and high-strength grades for heavy-duty work. SAE sizes are measured in inches and identified by diameter and threads per inch, with common counts including 13, 16, 18, 20, 24 and 32. Metric nuts are labeled by diameter and thread spacing in millimeters. Matching the correct standard and thread count to the bolt ensures the nut threads on completely and holds at full strength.

Standard Threaded Nuts

The most common nut shape in both SAE and metric standards is the six-sided hex nut, valued for its versatility and strength. Domed cap nuts provide a finished appearance and shield the exposed bolt end for added safety. Rod coupling nuts, which are elongated hex fasteners, connect two threaded rods end-to-end, extending their reach without the need for welding or special fittings. Wing nuts are designed with two raised flanges, allowing for easy hand-tightening and quick removal without the use of tools.

Locking and Vibration-Resistant Styles

Equipment mounted to engines, trailers and mowers is subject to constant vibration, which can loosen a standard nut over time. Stop nuts solve this with a nylon insert or a slightly narrowed thread section that grips the bolt and resists loosening on its own. Axle hat nuts take a different approach, using a notched top that accepts a small metal pin to physically lock the nut in position on the axle. Both options keep hardware secure in applications where movement and load are part of Life Out Here.

Clip-On and Press-Fit Fasteners

Not every fastener threads onto a bolt in the usual way. Push nuts and speed nuts press directly onto smooth studs or snap over panel edges, holding through spring tension rather than rotating threads. U-nuts clip onto the folded edges of sheet metal and accept a screw from the opposite side, making them common in automotive body projects. T-nuts are embedded in wood or composite materials with small prongs that anchor them flat against the surface, so a bolt can thread in from the other side.
