Dive Rite’s Scalloped Thumbwheels are a superior alternative to using standard wing nuts for securing a backplate to a set of doubles, a rebreather, or a single tank adapter. CNC machined from solid Delrin rod, these thumbwheels are incredibly strong and fast and easy to install. The threaded hole is counterbored to speed installation and greatly reduce the possibility of crossthreading. Simply drop into place and give them a quick spin. The tri-scalloped design makes tightening a breeze and is easy to grip, even with cold, wet hands.

Unlike metal wing nuts, you do not have to worry about these thumbwheels seizing—even if the male threads are less than perfect. The wide base completely eliminates the need for washers and eliminates any wear from metal-to-metal contact. The flat top is comfortable against the back and easy on exposure suits.

These thumbwheels are threaded 5/16-18 and fit most standard imperial bolt kits. They are 100% designed and produced in the USA.

Eliminates need for washers simplifying attachment of STA and does not loosen. Easy to loosen/tighten when wet. Worth the money.

Much easier to handle than the normal wing nuts. The scallop shape makes gripping with hands or gloves easier.

Very useful for quickly cranking down your BP to your twinset posts. Although more expensive, I believer these are worthwhile since the round ones are difficult to really crank down with wet hands. With the DR thumbwheels, you’re going to step off into your dive with confidence.

Tek Tip Warning Image WARNING

In the European Union and most other parts of the world the common metric bolt sizes are M8 x 1.5 or M8 x 1.25 and with force the imperial 5/16-18 threaded thumbwheels will screw down the metric bolts, but the threads will eventually strip creating an unsafe condition.
