Undoubtedly, many people have experienced how bolts and nuts get easily damaged, sometimes leading to equipment failure. There are many challenges to leaving these common mechanical fasteners uncovered, including time and money wastage and thievery.

But the good news is that we now have the Nut Guard, an invention from Inventor Fred A. Fernandez of Cedartown, GA. This invention protects any equipment susceptible to vandalism, damage, or theft. Keep reading this insightful piece to learn more about the Nut Guard, including its features and benefits.

What is Nut Guard?

So, what is the Nut Guard invention? Nut Guard is exactly as the name suggests. It is an invention developed for use where vandalism, damage, and theft are primary concerns. For example, it works best on outdoor, security, and rotating equipment.

When inventor Fred developed the Nut Guard, he had the safety of nuts and bolt heads in mind. This came after he and his wife experienced how the bolts on their mower deck would get rounded off over time or knocked off completely due to mowing their small farm. This phenomenon became challenging, especially when they attempted to replace or sharpen the blades.

Fred and his wife would spend a lot of money and time to mow approximately six acres of their farm. And that’s without forgetting the inconvenience of purchasing replacement bolts, washers, and gears. After careful examinations and considerations, Fred started developing the Nut Guard as an advanced way to protect nut and bolt heads.

Features and Benefits

As mentioned above, Fred developed the Nut Guard for use on any equipment which prone to damage, vandalism, or theft, including;

•    Outdoor equipment
•    Rotating equipment
•    Security equipment

To use this invention, you must first thoroughly tighten the nut or bolt. The next step involves picking the correct size for the nut or bolt head that needs security. The last step involves mounting the Nut Guard on the bolt or nut before securing it with the set screw.

And when you need to remove the fastener, you can quickly remove the Nut Guard without damaging it, the nut, or the bolt head. With the Nut Guard, every fastener on your equipment will remain in place while protecting the fasteners from unauthorized removals or damages. That’s not all! The Nut Guard prevents catastrophic failures from a single nut or bolt head’s failure.

Lastly, the Nut Guard is fully engineered, with a prototype available if you need one.
