[QUOTE="airshot, post: 501952, member: 1183"] Why would a wing nut be more prone to loosening than a hex nut if properly tightened to begin with ?? On my CG inspection they try to loosen with there fingers then they grab the wire where hex nuts are used and twist the wire to see if they come loose. According to the inspector, he claimed quite often the hex nuts are not tight and the wires can easily be moved !! Bottom line is what ever you use they need to be tightened down with a tool, not your fingers.. [/QUOTE]
