Review on Complete Stainless Steel Nuts And Bolts Assortment Kit With Hex Wrenches - A Must-Have For DIY And Industrial Projects by Michael Cox

Revainrating 4 out of 5

They are screws. and nuts. and washers.

So I was looking for a few screws and nuts recently and found I didn't have many that properly worked together (fine threaded screws, course nuts, etc.). I saw these on vine and gave them a go.First off, the item arrived damaged. The case was cracked and unusable. Luckily only one compartment was affected and so sorting them into a new container was easy to do. However, while moving them between cases, I was having a hard time picking up the smaller screws. I tried a few things to easily get only the ones I wanted, but nothing worked well.Which brings me to my second point. My last ditch effort was to use a magnetic stick to help pick up the pieces. Now I know what you are going to say, SS304 isn't magnetic; well I thought so too but these had no issues sticking to a magnet! Thus, these aren't true SS304 screws or something went wrong in the manufacturing process to convert them from austenitic to ferritic.Overall they work fine, but I can't confirm if they have the weatherproofing and rustproofing properties that SS304 should provide. I deducted a star since the item arrived damaged and the pieces were magnetic (I rarely give 5 star reviews so normally this would be a 4 star item).Update 2021-12-07: The seller contacted me to resolve the issue with the broken case. They sent me a new case quickly and informed me that magnetism is introduced into the metal during the stamping process. Added a star given the seller quickly resolved the issue.

Pros
  • High Quality Materials
Cons
  • The kit may not be suitable for use with electrical equipment
