Product Information

Full details

The Securpak M8 Penny Washers are an essential hardware component designed for DIY enthusiasts, hobbyists, and professionals seeking reliable fastening for light to medium-duty assembly tasks. These washers provide a wider surface area than standard washers, effectively distributing pressure and preventing hardware from pulling through holes in materials like wood or thin plastic. While they offer excellent versatility for home projects, it is important to note that they are intended for general assembly purposes and should not be used in critical load-bearing structural applications.

FAQs

Are these washers compatible with M6 or M10 bolts?

No, these washers are specifically precision-engineered for M8 bolts.

Can these washers be used in outdoor environments?

The finish is designed for durability, but they are primarily for general assembly; regular inspections are recommended in humid or wet conditions.

What is the diameter of these penny washers?

These washers are designed to the M8 specification, which provides a standard wide-diameter profile for that bolt size.

How many washers come in one pack?

Each pack contains 18 individual M8 silver washers.

Can I use these for structural load-bearing projects?

No, these are intended for general assembly and DIY fastening, not for structural load-bearing purposes.

Are they made of stainless steel?

The washers feature a durable silver finish designed for professional appearance and corrosion resistance in typical household environments.

Troubleshooting

Washer does not sit flush against the surface

Check for burrs or debris under the washer; ensure the fastener is tightened perpendicularly to the surface.

Washer spins freely after tightening

Ensure the bolt size is correct; if the hole is significantly larger than the bolt, use a larger fender washer instead.

Visible surface marring during tightening

Reduce torque applied with the wrench or driver; ensure the washer is centered before fully tightening.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Wide diameter helps prevent surface damage during tightening
  • Silver finish provides a clean, professional aesthetic
  • Precise M8 threading compatibility
  • Durable construction for long-term hold
  • Convenient pack size for household DIY kits

Cons

  • Not suitable for high-stress structural or industrial load-bearing applications
  • Limited to 18 pieces per pack, which may require multiple packs for large projects
  • Specific to M8 sizing and not adjustable for different bolt diameters

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install these washers, slide the washer onto the shank of your M8 bolt before threading it through your material. The washer should be placed between the head of the bolt (or the nut) and the surface of your workpiece. These washers are fully compatible with any standard metric M8 hardware. To maintain their appearance and integrity, avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or steel wool, which can damage the silver finish. If used in outdoor or damp environments, occasional inspection for oxidation is recommended to ensure the fastening remains secure.
