Thread Galling
Stainless-steel nuts and bolts are especially prone to a frustrating problem—thread
galling. As the nut is tightened on the bolt, friction between the contacting surfaces
may cause portions of the threads to break down and “cold weld” together. In the
most severe cases of thread galling, the nut and bolt will be completely jammed and
can only be separated by breaking the bolt or cutting the nut.
Thread galling can be minimized by using a thread lubricant when tightening thread-
ed stainless-steel fasteners. Don't force a nut that resists tightening before it is under
tension; loosen and try lubricating the threads again before proceeding.
Thread galling is not caused by defective parts. Thread galling on stainless steel fas-
teners can be minimized, but it cannot be completely prevented.
We have included a small pouch of thread lubricant; we encourage you to use thread
lubricant on all threads as you assemble your Pyroweeder.
I just want to say a personal “Thank You” for purchasing our
Pyroweeder. Our team has worked hard to develop a better
flame weeder on the market, and I’m excited to share it with
you!
I grew up on a small farm so I know firsthand how hard each
of you works at what you do; market gardening is not for
the faint of heart! I also know how important it is to have the
right tools for the job. Our goal at Farmers Friend is to make
well-designed, high-quality tools to improve your efficiency,
profitability, and quality of life.
I see us all on the same team. You are growing the food and
flowers to make our world a healthier, happier place to live,
and we are developing the tools to make your work more
productive and enjoyable. Your success is our success! Keep
up the good work you are doing and we will remain focused
on supporting you with quality tools.
From the whole team here at Farmers Friend, I want to wish
you happy and safe flame weeding. May your days be filled
with more veggies and flowers and less weeds! Thank you
again for your trust in us.
