Wasn't overly happy with the selection of wingnut designs for an M5 nut, so I made this.
EDIT: Added a low profile version for bolts that just might not reach the full size, also added a version with softer rounded knurls.
The opening for the nut is very tight, so I heated the nut with a butane torch, and gently pushed the nut into place. In the photo, I pushed too far. The melted plastic (ABS in my case) will hold the nut in place, and there is the added benefit of the melted plastic
