The cross-drilled hole lets the nut slide freely along a threaded rod until it reaches a clamping corner or obstruction; only then do the threads engage so you can tighten it in place.

These nuts are quick adjusting because they are cross drilled (at first glance the hole appears to be off center). This unique design allows you to move them along a threaded rod without turning them; their threads do not engage until they meet a clamping corner or an obstruction. Then you tighten them. The threads disengage when you loosen the nuts, allowing the same free-sliding adjustment along the rods.
