Embodiments of the invention relate generally to nut retention devices and, more particularly, to nut retention devices having a strap that can be fixed to a distal end of a threaded member without damage to the threaded member or nut, thereby permitting their reuse. In one embodiment, the invention provides a nut retention device comprising: a body having a nut engaging opening; and a deformable strap extending from the body, wherein, in an operative state, the nut engaging opening immovably receives a nut that is threaded on a threaded member and the strap is positioned to fixedly engage the threaded member to retain the nut. |
