Thumb Screws

Thumb screws are ideal for repeated removal and reinstallation using only the thumb & forefinger, without using any tools. Raptor Supplies offers thumb screws from brands like Vulcan Hart, Grainger & Micro Plastics. They are suitable for electronic devices & electrical equipment that have space constraints and do not require excessive torquing / tightening.

Features

  • Thumb screws are easily identifiable owing to their diverse head designs and oversized heads that provide easy grip.
  • They prevent downtime and save money on repairs & maintenance as they can be easily replaced by the user themselves.
  • Thumb screws generally come in two forms - pre-configured (factory-made in standard sizes) and user-configured (can be modified using knobs having diverse shapes / designs).
  • Some thumb screws are equipped with a driver slot for added torque using a screwdriver. They often come with washers that ensure secure fitting.
  • Most thumb screws have a fully threaded shank. However, selected models have a partially threaded shank to prevent breakage / bending due to friction-induced overheating and to protect them from loosening.
  • The screws have right or left-handed threading to attach to the mating thread of a nut or tapped hole.

Vulcan Hart Drive Screws:

  • They have round / hex screw heads for easy removal & installations.
  • Vulcan Hart thumb screws have metallic construction for lustre, electrical conductivity and magnetic properties.

Micro Plastics Thumb Screws:

  • They have nylon construction for light weight, reduced friction and resistance to wear / impact / corrosion.
  • These thumb screws are equipped with a knurled head for secure gripping during removal / installation.
