Does the hex nut portion of these connectors spin (i.e. can you screw it onto the mail connector) or is it solidly fixed to the body of the connector?

The order I received spins freely and can be threaded and tightened without twisting the cable.

it spins 360 degrees onto the male connector,it is not solid,hope this helps and the answer is not to late

Have one right in front of me. YES, it spins. So once its crimped to the cable sheath, you just turn the hex and it will properly screw onto the male threads

Hello Frank,The connector doesn't click in place, but the fit is usually snug. If you still see metal when you connect it, go ahead and wrap it in electrical tape.Nathanielwww.FortressSecurityStore.com

The threads are reverse. It took me a good bit to figure that out. Turn the nut the opposite way... Righty loosey. Good luck

Yes, it rotates continually beyond 360% without a hard-set stopping point. It is quite easy to rotate. No clicking. A solid cable approaching "industrial strength". I'm getting more when I use up the 2 3-packs I bought. Really handy for behind beds or large furniture that blocks access to a wall plug, and without a pre-set angle that is sometimes on the wrong side.

The picture is incorrect. I bought one of these for my Bigsby equipped guitar, but still had the tuning problems until I replaced the nut with a graphite nut. The nut was where my major problem was, not the bridge. I'm still very happy with my bridge anyway because I have not broken any strings with it since I installed it.

Yes, it has a plastic threaded screw and nut. I've had mine installed for about a month and it seems to be holding well so far.

It has a 1/4 inch hex tip mail that will lock into any standard impact or drill. The other end has a 1/4 spring loaded locking hex female to hold any of your 1/4" bits. I have 3 sizes and find them very handy. If they ever wear out I would definitely replace them. I have had them about a year and a half and use them at least once a week. It's a keeper and really quite cheap.

No, not al all . Just turn where the arrow tells you or else , it won't turn . No need to loosen or tightening anything .

If the handle is attached with the pin, there is no trouble. If the handle is not attached, I could not do it. I bought the assembly with the handle attached. If the handle is attached, have one person hold it down, use a socket to hold the nut in place, while screwing down the screw. You have to go opposite sides and go around it gradually to get it to seal properly. Hope that helps.

Mine was a little loose, but it just needs to be tapped to snug up the connector tabs. Hope this makes sense and helps.

No. They have 2 prongs that go into slots and twist in place, they do not screw in.

answering with another question : The nut wont tighten on the bolt. Are they supposed to be loose like that?

Hi Barbara. The bit on top is magnetic fixed. The other spare bits, are exposed when you put and pull the removed one on the back of the desired bit hole. It's very simple and easy.

You can tighten both of the hex bolts at each side to make it so that it stays in one place. It's going to get loose again if it moves alot and need to be tighten back up sooner or later.

It takes just a bit of elbow grease, that's all. I used two sets of pliers; one to hold the bolt and the other to hold the nut as I turned. Once you get past that white seal, it works fine.

I'm sorry I don't know the answer to this one. I got this to use with my screw driver bits from my tool case and so far anything with a 1/4 shaft on it has worked. I have not tried Nut drivers.

That all depends on the wood that you are running them in to and your pilot hole size. I had to grind them off when I wanted to move the lock in my installation. I could not turn the screws. However, on the new installation I just used long 10/32 machine screws with self locking nuts. You can turn the screw head all you want and the nut will just spin in place and never fall off unless you get inside to the locked area and hold the nut with something. That solves the security problem. The screws were very long 4 inch screws that were long enough to go through a 2 x 4 piece of wood. Got them at a surplus place. If going into metal, you won't have a problem finding long enough screws.
