M5 Knurled Thumb Screws — Aluminium Shoulder Bolts for Tool-Free Fastening
When you need to open an enclosure, swap a panel, or adjust a jig without reaching for a screwdriver, standard hex bolts become a daily frustration. Makers, electronics assemblers, and workshop enthusiasts who work with removable covers or frequently accessed compartments need M5 knurled thumb screws that can be tightened and released by hand — quickly and reliably.
These M5 aluminium knurled thumb screws are machined from aluminium alloy with a knurled cylindrical head for a secure hand grip. Available in lengths from 70 mm (~2.76 in) to 100 mm (~3.94 in) in 5 mm increments, and in 10 anodized colour options including Black, Silver, Royal Blue, Green, Golden, Dark Red, Purple, Rose Red, Sky Blue, and Orange. Pack quantities of 1, 2, or 5 pieces let you order exactly what you need.
Typical applications include electronics enclosure panels, 3D printer frames, CNC machine guards, laboratory equipment covers, and custom fabrication jigs where tool-free access is required. The anodized finish also suits colour-coded fastener systems in maker spaces and production environments.
🔩
Knurled Cylindrical Head
The textured knurl pattern on the head provides a firm grip for finger-tightening without tools, even with slightly oily or gloved hands.
🪶
Aluminium Alloy Construction
Machined from aluminium alloy, these screws are lightweight yet rigid — reducing load on threaded inserts compared to steel equivalents of the same size.
🎨
Anodized Colour Finish
Ten anodized colour options allow colour-coding by function, zone, or access level — useful in multi-user workshops, production lines, and custom builds.
📏
Seven Length Options (70–100 mm)
Shank lengths from 70 mm to 100 mm in 5 mm steps accommodate varying panel thicknesses and stack-up tolerances without needing custom fasteners.
📦
Flexible Pack Quantities
Available in 1, 2, or 5-piece packs so you can match your exact project requirement — whether a single replacement or a full set for a new build.
🔄
Shoulder Bolt Profile
The shoulder (unthreaded shank) acts as a locating feature, keeping panels aligned during repeated removal and reinstallation cycles.
