Phillips<br />
Pozidrive<br />
Some other common examples of fasteners with<br />
different names include:<br />
Velcro<br />
Hook and Loop<br />
Nylon Insert Locknuts<br />
ESNA Nut<br />
All Metal Locknut<br />
Stoverlock/Unitorque<br />
Two Way Locknut<br />
Centerlock/Reversible Lock<br />
Rivet Body (USA)<br />
Rivet Shell (Australia)<br />
There are many more examples, but regardless of<br />
how you interpret it the name, this quote has become<br />
a popular saying that is often used to suggest that<br />
names are not as important but, in our case, the<br />
actual specification of the fastener or product is. So,<br />
make sure you are searching the right part for the<br />
application.<br />
Don’t rely on a name when looking for stock, or you<br />
might lose out on a sale.<br />
