they stay dead.
Google says..
The Dead Nuts is simply the wrong spelling for Dead Naught but is well accepted and will remain a constant for many years to come. Before there was digital scales there were threaded nuts that were locked in place to set the zero. A scale adjusted to and set to zero has "Dead Nuts".
Yeah, good question. 'Dead nuts'__ (reliable, accurate, etc) doesn't make a helluva lot of sense. If mine were dead, they'd not be reliable, accurate etc. 
I understood it as a machining term. Chuck up something up in a lathe and indicate it to zero, indicator says "0-0" that's Dead Nuts.
dead nuts sounds like a reference to accuracy rather than reliability or longevity.
You can get dead nuts surgically done. No more kids. Apparently it's in the 99.6% reliable area.
All I know is I have never seen live nuts with a job. If you want reliablity you HAVE to hire dead ones.
Why were at is what does the H stand for / what Jesus's middle name?
You always here Jesus H Christ but know one knows where the H came from....
I always was told it stood for Hank
What's the deal with rhetorical questions?
retorical questions just beg for smart ass answers
i think it's another way of saying, uh, "derogatory term for a female body part" hair...

no, that's disconnected nuts, not dead ones.
In reply to Gearheadotaku:
True, but dead ones would be 100% reliable on the particular issue Skinny was referring to.
