Better Male Nuts

Seriously, click on it, it's safe. It's a fitting for high-pressure liquid chromatography. Just the marketing people try desperately to attract attention.

Interesting idea but I'm dubious about how much of an improvement it actually is: starting a bolt by hand isn't really THAT difficult, even without the knurled bit.

If you've ever opened the supply catalog to the fittings pages you know that there are an astonishing number of just-slightly-different nuts. Why? Who knows? I think desperation for something, *anything* different has set in :)
