FAQs
What material are these washers made of?
These washers are made from durable carbon steel.
What size are these washers?
They are designed for M8 bolts and screws.
How many washers are in this pack?
This pack contains 100 large flat washers.
Can I use these outdoors?
While they can be used outdoors, the unplated carbon steel is susceptible to rust. For prolonged outdoor use, consider rust protection or a different material like stainless steel.
Will these washers prevent screws from pulling through thin material?
Yes, their flat design distributes the load over a larger surface area, which helps prevent fasteners from pulling through soft materials like particleboard or drywall.
How should I store these washers?
Store them in a dry, cool place away from moisture to prevent rust and corrosion.
Are these washers hardened?
They are constructed from durable carbon steel, offering good strength for general use, but are not specifically listed as hardened.
Troubleshooting
Washer is too loose on the bolt.
This indicates the bolt is not an M8 size. Ensure you are using M8 hardware.
Rust appearing on the washers.
Store washers in a dry environment and consider applying a rust inhibitor, especially if used outdoors or in humid conditions.
Washer bends under pressure.
For extremely high-pressure applications, a thicker washer or a harder material may be required. Assess if the load exceeds the washer's intended capacity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No setup is required; these are standalone components. Simply place the washer onto the bolt or screw shaft before inserting it through the material.
Compatibility: These washers are specifically designed for use with M8 bolts and screws. Ensure your hardware is the correct size for a proper fit.
Care: Store in a dry place to prevent corrosion. If washers become dirty, wipe them clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For long-term storage or use in potentially damp conditions, consider applying a rust-inhibiting spray.
