In 35 years in the fastener business I've never seen those before today. Maybe have some machined up- it looks like a drill & tap, cutoff and slot.

Really? well here is their screw driver as well.

Its the first time i needed something like this and actually had to look for something different from a regular nut, and i came upon this slotted round nuts

Years ago I used to see these on thermostat adjusting screws on domestic irons for clothes.

You are judged not by what you know, but by what you can do.

They do have them but its a bit complicated to order from them you need a store account or something. Well I can do it but i do not expect my customers to go through this hassle to order 10 nuts.

You must be confused right now, what i am doing is am selling a product which will require this types of nuts and i was searching to find stores that sell them to direct my customers to. i hope this makes some sense

Well, then tell them to buy them from Amazon.

But I guess that you will next complain that a lot of 50 is too many.
