Overview

• Nylon is a lightweight, nonconductive material that is resistant to impact, wear and abrasion
• It is ideal for electrical applications or where corrosion is a concern
• Slotted drive types are used with flat-blade drivers
• They have one linear slot that runs the length of the head
• Drivers must be centered in the slot during tightening or they will slip out and damage the fastener
• Soft tip points have large, flat points that protrude from the set screw s body
• The tip is often made of nylon, which is rigid but soft
• Soft tip points are used absorb vibration and provide tight fixes without marking the material.
