Shoe Fittings™ ThumNut™

Our patented ThumNut™ is one of those things that makes you wonder how it is possible it was never invented before. The nightmare of a typical barrel nut, lost in its hole, all turned around, with no hope of ever getting the bolt threaded into it, is over.

The ThumNut™ gives you a total handle on the situation. Holding it in one hand while threading the bolt with the other is so easy you'll never want to do it any other way again. And making the barrel of the ThumNut™ a full 15 mm in diameter spreads out the pressure on the wood so much that you can crank that bolt as tight as you like and the joint will take it.

The ThumNut™ is protected by U.S. Patent #6,457,923
