FAQs

What material are these washers made from?

The washers are made from Grade 201 Stainless Steel, known for its good corrosion and rust resistance.

What are the specific sizes included in the kit?

The kit includes flat and spring washers in sizes M4, M5, M6, M8, M10, and M12.

How many of each type of washer are included?

The kit contains 790 pieces in total, with specific counts for each size and type. For example, M4 flat washers come in 120 pieces, and M4 spring washers also come in 120 pieces.

Is the storage case durable?

The kit is supplied in a convenient storage carry case designed for organization and portability, typically made from robust plastic.

Can these washers be used outdoors?

Yes, the Grade 201 Stainless Steel offers good resistance to rust and corrosion, making them suitable for many outdoor applications, provided they are not exposed to extreme chemical environments.

Are these washers magnetic?

Grade 201 stainless steel is generally considered non-magnetic or only slightly magnetic, especially in its annealed state.

Troubleshooting

Washer is not the correct size

Double-check the bolt or screw diameter against the washer's inner diameter. Consult the kit's breakdown for specific sizes. If a size is missing, it may need to be purchased separately.

Rust spots appearing on washers

This is uncommon with stainless steel but can occur in highly corrosive environments or if exposed to dissimilar metals. Clean the spots with a mild abrasive pad and ensure proper dry storage.

Carry case latch is difficult to open/close

Ensure no small washers are lodged in the latch mechanism. Gently clean the latch area. If the issue persists, contact the retailer for a replacement case.
