[QUOTE="Lil ugly, post: 755265, member: 3188"] The difference between conical washers vs tapered nuts has more to do with accurate torque than increased holding capacity. A tapered nut has friction across the entire surface of the tapered section vs just the flat surface of a standard nut. More surface area friction = less accurate/consistent torque values. I think for the purpose of holding your arms in place a stud/conical washer/nut combination is the strongest but overall you are splitting hairs. [/QUOTE]
