CPI's Tool-Less Clik-Nut™ Cage Nut Saves Installation Time

October 04, 2016

Clik-Nut Cage Nut

If you’ve ever used standard cage nuts, you understand the challenge.

Placing cage nuts into square-punched holes requires simultaneous compression and push/pull force that exceeds human finger strength. 

Even with the specialty installation tools that are available in the market today, installers routinely suffer from pinched fingers and ripped or detached fingernails. Furthermore, there are no tools that work well for both installation and removal of cage nuts.

Basically, when it’s time to install or remove cage nuts, those who execute the task get frustrated. Until now.

Chatsworth Products (CPI) recently introduced Clik-Nut™ Hardware Kit, which features a patent-pending, squeeze-and-release design that eliminates the need for tools, thus resulting in easier and faster installation but at least 70 percent.

Advantages include:

  • No tools required - Easier, faster and safer installation
  • High payload capacity - Same strength and reliability as standard cage nuts
  • Universal usability - Fully compatible with square-punched holes
  • Squeeze-and-release design - Installation time can be reduced by at least 70 percent

Whether it’s a sound technician who mounts sound equipment on portable panels or an IT professional who routinely assembles equipment on server racks, Clik-Nut can save valuable installation time in environments that need to be reconfigured often.

Go to the CPI Online Catalog to watch how Clik-Nut is easy to use. Then, create a cart and email it to a distributor near you.
