• How do I choose the right washer size?
  Match the washer’s inner diameter to the bolt size an M8 washer is designed to fit an M8 bolt, and so on.

• What are flexible washers used for?
  Flexible washers can help with load spreading or fitting where a little compliance is useful, depending on the application and material being fastened.

• Does the set come with storage?
