What is the "F**k Nut" actually called?
When I say "F**K Nut" I am referring to the small screw on the side of a C-Clamp that allows whatever is attached to the clamp to turn. I have also heard it referred to as the "F-Nut" of "Jesus Pole". I was wondering if it had an actual name. Does anyone know?

Pan Nut/Pan Bolt/Pan Screw. Named such because it locks the pan motion of the C-Clamp.

Re: What is the "F**k Nut" actually called?
I've always heard it called the "Jesus Nut" for two reasons. One, it's made of soft metal and easy to snap, thereby requiring the loud "Jesus" when that happens. Second. because there are lighting wrenches that have a special hole for this nut and they happen to look like the Catholic cross. Yeah, you old timers remember the lighting wrenches with the crossed handles for the Altman 360 handles.

I've also heard it referred to as the "****it Bolt," though I personally prefer "**** Nut," as it coincides with my choice in profanity.
