FAQs
What material are these washers made from?
These washers are constructed from durable carbon steel.
What size bolts are these washers compatible with?
They are specifically designed for M5 diameter bolts and screws.
How many washers are in a pack?
Each pack contains 20 small flat washers.
Can these washers be used outdoors?
They can be used in protected outdoor environments. For constant exposure to weather, consider galvanized or stainless steel options to prevent rust.
What is the main benefit of using a flat washer?
Flat washers distribute the load of a fastener over a larger surface area, preventing damage to the material being fastened and preventing the fastener from pulling through.
How should I store these washers?
Store them in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Keeping them in their original packaging or a sealed container is recommended.
Are these washers magnetic?
Yes, carbon steel is a ferrous material, so these washers are magnetic.
Troubleshooting
Washer does not fit M5 bolt.
Verify that the bolt or screw is indeed M5 size. These washers are precisely sized for M5 hardware.
Washer appears to be rusting.
Store washers in a dry location. Light surface rust can be removed with a gentle wire brush, but avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
Washer broke during tightening.
This is uncommon with carbon steel. Ensure you are not overtightening significantly beyond the material's capacity or applying excessive force at an angle.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable carbon steel material ensures a long lifespan.
- Precise M5 diameter for secure fitting with compatible hardware.
- Pack of 20 provides good value for common DIY needs.
- Flat design effectively protects surfaces from bolt pressure.
- Suitable for a variety of light-duty projects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These washers require no setup. Simply place them onto an M5 bolt or screw before inserting it into the material. Ensure the washer lies flat against the surface for optimal performance.
Compatibility: Designed exclusively for use with M5 sized bolts, screws, and threaded components. They are not compatible with other screw or bolt sizes.
Care: To maintain their condition, store the washers in a dry environment. While carbon steel offers some corrosion resistance, prolonged exposure to moisture or harsh chemicals can lead to rust. If rust does appear, it can be gently removed with a wire brush, but this may affect the finish. For best results, keep them in their original packaging or a dry storage container.
