Message Seriuosly. Kyle sold me some literally 5 years ago by now. They are intended to be one-time use (they are really just "deformed" nuts, if you will) but I have reused mine for over a year with no issues. I did replace them when I moved up to later studs though, so who knows how much longer they would have held. But they were still tight when I removed them the second time.

They're actually the only thing I've found short of safety wire to prevent the nuts from backing off. I must say that when I removed them each time, they pulled the studs with them.
