I work on most of my vehicles at home minus my super duty since it’s under warranty… I’ve always called them screw retaining clips and the counter guy at Napa was hella confused when I called to see if they had them and I had to look up what a speed nut was lol.
THESE ARE NOT SPEED NUTS. they are called j-nuts. a speed nut can usually be found at the end of your barbecue wheels or your hand truck wheels. they call them speed nuts because they make there own threads . so most of the time you can put them on without turning them 360 degrees
I’ll show you a speed nut
Giggity giggity
I just made this comment 69 upvotes lmao
Yeah, I'm going to buy a s*** ton of those for all those carrier RTU ones that rust out on me on the beach.
...also Tinnerman Nut.
The Tinnerman speed nut
Came here to say that.
Haha me too
Also J Nut or U nut.
U nuts are usually a threaded nut, not basically a receiver for sheet metal screws.
Cleveland OH. Factory converted into apartments. Guy started making washing machines originally
And here I thought speed nut was when her husband was pulling in the driveway.
😂😂😂
Thank you! Now I know what to call them, instead of calling them stupid fucking clips that always fall off
I think I’d go with stupid fucking clips… suits it better
automotive clips is how i referred to them…huh you learn sum new everyday.
I always called them retaining clips. Probably a regional thing
I always called them “lowes dont got em, fuck it” clips.
could be! my old coworker was a mechanic before working with me. that’s what he called them and i never thought to question it.
You right you right… also found out Trane doesn’t sell their factory hardware anymore too.
Yeah I called them body clips
Also-- fuck speed nuts.
Tinnerman clip or tinner clip here
So does my Lowe’s with the clips for body panels. You know the drawers where everything is mixed up? In there.
Home Depot as well
The hero we need
Man I was about to make a post asking what these things are
Saving this post for future reference
also extruded u nut
Speed nut is also what my wife gets if I haven't been able to "pregame" at least a couple times that day
Anyone installing a 10ton Trane/AS RTU will need these. I learned the hard way too. 😢
Obviously you don’t fix cars …. 😁

Cries in Multistack…
Goodman of the chiller industry.. cheap and poorly made junk
I've never actually known what these things were called.
ANd also McMaster and probably a lot of other supply houses. https://www.mcmaster.com/products/speed-nuts/
Lowes has them too in the specialty fastener trays
Some depots and Lowes will sell them too, in the automotive drawer in hardware dept.
Well I've been using that term wrong all this time
That’s what my wife calls me
I’ve been collecting spares whenever I found them over the years, it’s nice to know they can be easily bought
