The ramp on the Nord-Lock cam is steeper than the thread pitch, so it acts to increase the bolt tension and thus the thread friction as soon as it tries to move. I've used them, they're very effective in situations where you don't want to use Loctite. If you don't believe it, try it yourself! I see no need to use them for batteries though, or for anything else on an ordinary car. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
