Abstract
A flange nut for use in mounting a power tool component onto a rotatable spindle of a power tool. The flange nut includes one or more non-circular apertures into which an end of a shaped tool such as an Allen wrench may be inserted. Torquing or otherwise applying a force to a portion of the shaped tool serves to thread the nut along the spindle either towards the power tool component to secure the power tool component on the spindle or away from the power tool component to allow for removal of the power tool component.
