ABSTRACT:
A split nut is made of elastic material that deflects under manual pressure. Each nut half has a projecting bead and a keyhole recess. The beads removably fit into the keyhole recesses to hold the nut halves together. Radial fins permit rotation by air jet and enlarge the size of the nut halves to make manual disassembly easier.
