This pack of 20 Diall M8 cylindrical set screws and nuts is designed for DIY enthusiasts and builders needing reliable fastening solutions.

They are constructed from durable carbon steel.
They have an M8 diameter and a length of 40mm.
Zinc plating is a surface treatment that provides a layer of protection against rust and corrosion, increasing the lifespan of the carbon steel.
Yes, the zinc plating offers protection against the elements, making them suitable for many outdoor DIY projects. However, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions may still lead to corrosion over time.
Each pack contains 20 cylindrical set screws and 20 nuts.
You will typically need an M8 wrench or socket set to tighten the nuts and screws.
Ensure you are using an M8 nut or threaded hole. Check for any debris or damage in the threads of both the screw and the mating component. Do not force the screw.
Verify that the mating component has a properly formed M8 thread. The nut may be cross-threaded or the thread may be damaged.
While zinc-plated, these fasteners are not entirely immune to corrosion. Ensure they are not used in highly corrosive environments or for prolonged periods in wet conditions without further protective measures.
Setup:
These set screws and nuts require no special setup. Simply thread the M8 screw into the corresponding M8 nut or threaded hole. An M8 wrench or socket set is typically required for tightening.
Compatibility:
These fasteners are designed for use with any component featuring an M8 threaded hole or M8 nut. They are compatible with materials like wood, metal, and certain plastics, provided the M8 thread size is appropriate for the application.
Care:
To maintain the integrity and appearance of the fasteners, wipe them clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use. Avoid exposing them to harsh chemicals or prolonged immersion in water to prevent premature corrosion, despite the zinc plating. Store them in a dry environment.
