Title: A fully round E clip, what are they called.
Post by: Oddjob on August 10, 2022, 06:31:53 PM
I've just dismantled my Black And Decker workmate. 2 of the props were attached to the body using a small stud and on the top of that a round washer with protruding lugs. You knock the washer on and the lugs expand over the lug until they reach a slot cut into the lug when they spring back and secure themselves.

For the life of me I can't think what they are called. They are like the clips used to hold the side panel badges onto the panels on a 500-4 but round and with more lugs, although I have seen round ones of them used.

Anyone know the correct term so I can see if I can find some new ones. 1 broke it was so rusty.

I thought it might be spire nuts but searching that brings up something that doesn't look the same.
