Introduction

The Slide or Track Key is an indispensable tool for anyone working with rail/sliding systems fastened with wing nuts. These nuts are often placed in areas with limited accessibility, such as under deck or in narrow spaces. This key provides the right grip and leverage to loosen or tighten nuts easily, without damaging the nut or the system.

Applications & benefits

• For wing nuts: designed specifically for wing nuts — the key fits neatly around the wings
• Compact & practical: small and handy, perfect for use in confined spaces
• Under-deck usable: ideal for low-clearance or enclosed areas
• Durable material: made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel

How to use

1. Place the sliding key over the wing nut so the tool fits snugly around the wings.
2. Carefully loosen or tighten — the leverage makes it effortless. The adjustable lever arm allows you to reach wing nuts located flush against the hull or a frame.
3. After tightening, check that the slidie is correctly positioned without play.

Why this key is essential

In many slide systems, parts are fixed with wing nuts — usually hand-tightened, but sometimes too tight or placed in hard-to-reach spots. The sliding key provides the extra leverage you need, especially under deck in rowing boats where space is limited.
