Lala81 Hypersonic September 18, 2022 Author Share September 18, 2022 (edited) @Kb27 and other screw expert. Some screw is missing from my kids tennis ball trolley. I measured the diameter of the thread to be 3mm against a ruler (I don't have vernier calipers). Visually it looks about right for a M4 screw. Am i correct? Somehow this thread diameter thing is not very easily google-able. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_metric_screw_thread Edited September 18, 2022 by Lala81 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lala81 Hypersonic September 18, 2022 Author Share September 18, 2022 (edited) Maybe i switch to a nylock nut to reduce the chance of loosening. Cos the wheel is held by 10mm screw with a hex nut behind. I'm missing 1 hex nut anyway, need to replace it.

Maybe just find some M3 or M4 screws and try out. Nyloc is useful to prevent nut from coming loose due to vibration. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lala81 Hypersonic September 23, 2022 Author Share September 23, 2022 Update. Screws and nylock nut arrived. However with the washer and only a 1cm screw, the nylock nut is not fully utilised (end of screw just reaches the end of the nut). But OK lah. Good enough. Was originally considering just change all 7 other nuts to nylock nuts but since the length of the screws are all 10mm. Hold off first. Just change as needed. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's enough space, could've gotten longer screws like 14mm. 😁 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vratenza Supersonic November 10, 2022 Share November 10, 2022 Hi all! Need some advice here. My place the kitchen faucet base is loose and wobbly. Went down on my back to see what is happening. I see a horseshoe shaped metal plate that seem to be doing the job of securing the faucet to the kitchen top. It seem to be tighten down by the main water hose. There are no other screws or bolts that i can see. I assume i just need to tighten down the hex shaped pipe connector. Question is, what is the best tool to use for this? Saw online sink wrenches but the space is really tight... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do need a special tool to tighten it from below. Something like those use for car sparkplugs but bigger diameter. Go to a hardware shop and they will show you. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to struggle on how to get it done, you need to find the right tool to get it done. Maybe even bring a better picture to the hardware shop to buy the right wrench. Another way I used to do is to turn both top and bottom to an offset angle just before it is tight and them twist from the top to desired position to tighten while holding the bottom ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
