A hex nut formed from cutting and deforming a rigid planar material and having an integral attachment surface continuous with the deformable planar material allows attachment of the hex nut to any suitable surface. A rigid planar material such as a piece of flat metal is cut according to a particular pattern. The particular pattern includes each of the sides of the hex nut and one or more attachment surfaces (12a - 12f) as a continuous shape. The flat metal is then deformed, or bent, along certain lines (18a - 18f) to form a hex nut, or other polygonal shaped object. The attachment surface or surfaces (12a - 12f), which extend from the sides of the hex nut, are then secured to a surface of a rotatable object, such as by adhesion or spot welding, or other suitable methods. In this manner, the hex nut can be engaged by a receptacle such as a wrench for rotating the hex nut and consequently, the object which is attached through the attachment surface. |
