What is a M12 Shear Nut?
A M12 Shear Nut is a specialised security fastener featuring a hexagonal head that shears off upon reaching a predetermined torque during installation. This intentional design leaves a smooth, conical shape that is extremely difficult to remove without specialised tools, thereby preventing unauthorised tampering or disassembly. Manufactured from A2 stainless steel, it ensures durability and resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments.
