FAQs

What material are these screws and nuts made of?

They are constructed from durable carbon steel with a zinc-plated finish.

What is the diameter and length of these fasteners?

They have an M6 diameter and are 20mm in length.

How many fasteners are included in this pack?

This pack contains 20 cylindrical set screws and 20 nuts.

Are these suitable for outdoor use?

The zinc plating offers moderate corrosion resistance, making them suitable for light outdoor use. For harsh or prolonged outdoor exposure, additional protection or materials like stainless steel might be preferable.

What kind of projects are these best suited for?

They are ideal for a range of DIY projects, general repairs, assembling simple furniture, and general fastening tasks where an M6 size is required.

Can I use these with a standard M6 nut?

Yes, these are M6 cylindrical set screws and are designed to be used with standard M6 nuts.

Troubleshooting

Screw does not thread properly

Ensure you are using an M6 nut and that the receiving hole is clear of obstructions or damage. Verify that the screw's thread is not cross-threaded or deformed.

Nut is difficult to tighten

Check that both the screw and nut are M6 size. Ensure the threads are aligned and free from dirt or debris. If resistance is significant, check for thread damage on either component.

Corrosion observed on the surface

Wipe the affected area with a dry cloth. For ongoing protection in humid environments, consider applying a light coat of appropriate metal protectant or storing in a dry container.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable carbon steel build for strength.
  • Zinc plating offers basic corrosion protection.
  • Versatile M6 diameter is widely compatible.
  • Convenient pack of 20 for common DIY needs.

Cons

  • Fixed 20mm length limits some applications.
  • Zinc plating offers only moderate corrosion resistance compared to stainless steel.
  • Carbon steel can be susceptible to rust if exposed to harsh conditions without protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These nuts and bolts are designed for direct use. Ensure the M6 threaded holes or pre-drilled holes are clean and free of debris. Use appropriate tools, such as a wrench or socket set, to tighten the nut onto the screw.

Compatibility: The M6 diameter is compatible with any M6 threaded components or M6 nuts. The 20mm length is suitable for materials where the combined thickness of the components being joined is less than or equal to 20mm, allowing for full thread engagement.

Care: To maintain the integrity and appearance of the zinc plating, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or corrosive substances. Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. For long-term storage, keep in a dry environment.
