    Split Lock Washers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Lock Washers. Split-Lock Washer.
    Stop nuts and screws from loosening due to mild vibration. As you tighten, the uneven ends bite into the nut or screw so it won't back out. While they're not as vibration resistant as other lock washers, they are a great fit for electrical panels, light fixtures, and other light duty assemblies. Split lock washers are not reusable, and they only work with fasteners that have right-hand threads.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these washers won't rust when exposed to moisture. However, they can't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.

    All of these washers are lightweight, nonconductive, and naturally rust resistant. They are commonly used in electronics and automation applications to take the pressure off screws and nuts and protect mounting surfaces.
    Clear Impact-Resistant Polycarbonate—Withstand bumps and vibration without cracking or denting. These washers are also clear to be less noticeable in your assembly.

    Tooth Lock Washers

    Grip tighter than split lock washers to prevent nuts and screws from loosening in applications with constant movement, such as conveyors. Tooth lock washers typically can't be reused because the teeth often get bent when tightened.
    Internal Tooth

    Internal teeth dig into the nut or screw to prevent it from backing out. Unlike external-tooth lock washers, these have a smooth outside edge, so they are less likely to mar your material or snag on objects. However, they don’t grip quite as well. Pair them with fasteners that have small diameters, such as fillister and cheese head screws.
    Black-Oxide Steel—Typically chosen for their appearance, these washers have a dark, matte coating that creates a finished look. They offer minimal corrosion resistance, so they're best for dry environments.
