Ukufaka i-jack nut ngokuvamile akudingi ithuluzi elikhethekile, kodwa kuncike ohlotsheni oluthile lwe-jack nut osebenza nalo. Ezinhlotsheni eziningi, i-wrench evamile noma isethi yesokhethi izokwanela ukufakwa. Kodwa-ke, amanye ama-jack nuts akhethekile angase adinge ithuluzi elithile elidizayinelwe isimo sawo esiyingqayizivele noma indlela, njengethuluzi le-rivet nut noma ithuluzi lokufaka elinentambo.

Sekungamashumi eminyaka, amapulaki odongeni (abuye aziwe ngokuthi amahange odongeni noma ama-rawl plugs) abe amaqhawe angaqashiwe amaphrojekthi e-DIY kanye nokufakwa okuphrofeshinali ngokufanayo. Njengengcweti yemboni yokuqinisa izinto kanye nomsunguli wenkampani eyenza izikulufu, amantongomane, namahange efektri yethu, ngizibonele ngawami ukuthi lezi zinto ezincane zokufakwa kwepulasitiki ziyishintsha kanjani indlela esivikela ngayo izinto ukuze zibe brittle njengebhodi le-plasterboard, isitini, noma ukhonkolo. Ake sihlukanise yonke into odinga ukuyazi mayelana namapulaki odongeni—nokuthi kungani kubalulekile ukukhetha alungile.

Lapho uhlanganisa ifenisha noma ubhekana namaphrojekthi okwenza izinkuni, ukukhetha uhlobo olulungile lwesikulufa kungasho umehluko phakathi kwesakhiwo esiqinile, esihlala isikhathi eside kanye nenhlekelele enyakazayo. Izixhumi ezimbili ezivame ukudideka—izikulufu ze-chipboard nezikulufu zokhuni—zingase zibukeke zifana lapho uthi nhlá, kodwa ama-nuances azo wedizayini nezici zokusebenza zakhelwa ngendlela ehlukile kanye nezinhlelo zokusebenza.

Ekwakhiweni kwemishini nasekukhiqizeni, ukukhetha uhlobo olufanele lwe-fastener kubalulekile ukuze kuqinisekiswe ubuqotho besakhiwo, ukuhlanganisa kalula, nokuthembeka kwesikhathi eside. Phakathi kwezibophelelo ezisetshenziswa kakhulu amabholidi ekhanda lesokhethi (i-hex yangaphakathi), ikhanda le-hex (i-hex yangaphandle...

Ekwakhiweni nasekuqedeni kwangaphakathi, izikulufu ze-drywall zibalulekile ekuvikeleni amabhodi e-gypsum, ukudala izindonga ezingenamthungo, nokuqinisekisa ubuqotho besakhiwo. Kodwa-ke, ikhwalithi yalezi zikrini ingahluka kakhulu phakathi kwabakhiqizi. Ukukhetha umshini...

Emhlabeni we-fasteners, izipikili zihlala zingenye yezixazululo eziguquguqukayo nezisetshenziswa kabanzi. Emashumini eminyaka embonini, ngifunde ukuthi ukukhetha uhlobo olufanele lwezinzipho kungenza noma kuphule iphrojekthi. Namuhla, sizogxila ezinhlotsheni ezine zezinzipho eziyisisekelo okufanele wonke uchwepheshe azifunde kahle: Izinzipho Ezivamile, Izinzipho Zozimele, Izinzipho Zekhoyili, Nezinzipho Ezinamakhanda Akabili. Ake sihlole izici zabo ezihlukile, amandla, nezimo zokusebenzisa ezifanele ngokujulile.

Ezinhlelweni zokubopha izinto zokubopha, amawasha ayizingxenye ezincane kodwa ezibalulekile eziklanyelwe ukusabalalisa umthwalo, ukuvimbela ukuxega, noma ukuvikela izindawo. Phakathi kwazo, ama-spring washers akhiwe ngomumo we-helical noma we-wave-like ukuze asebenze njengesiphethu esicindezelayo. Umsebenzi wabo oyinhloko uwukugcina ukungezwani emalungeni abholidi, kunxephezela ukuxegisa okubangelwa ukudlidliza noma ukunwetshwa/ukufinyela okushisayo.

Uma uke wazabalaza ukubophela izinto ezimbili lapho ungeke ukwazi ukufinyelela khona ngemuva, ama-rivets angaboni (ngokuvamile abizwa ngokuthi “ama-pop rivets”) amaqhawe angadunyiswa owadingayo. Kodwa ziyini ngempela, futhi zisebenza kanjani? Ake sibhekane nemibuzo evamile futhi sinciphise lesi sibophelelo esisebenza ngezindlela eziningi.

Amawasha anesibopho—izibophelelo eziyingxube ezihlanganisa isisekelo sensimbi (ngokujwayelekile insimbi noma insimbi engagqwali) ne-elastomer eboshiwe noma isendlalelo se-polymer—zisetshenziswa kabanzi ukuvimbela ukuvuza, ukunciphisa ukudlidliza, nokumelana nokuxega ezinhlelweni ezibucayi. Kodwa umbuzo engivame ukuwuzwa uthi: “Zihlala isikhathi esingakanani ngempela?” Asihlephule.

Uma kuziwa ekuhlanganiseni ibhodi lezinhlayiyana noma ifenisha ye-MDF, izikulufi ze-Confirmat zingamaqhawe angaculwa—kodwa akubona bonke osayizi abadalwa belingana. Ake sihlukanise osayizi abadume kakhulu nokuthi kungani beyizinketho zokuya kuzo zama-DIYers nabakhiqizi ngokufanayo.
