Review on Pack of 20 Stainless Steel 18-8 (304) Serrated Flange Hex Lock Nuts, 3/8-16 Thread Size, Bright Finish by Olusola Edwards

Revainrating 5 out of 5

They appear to be of good quality but are a little boring.

All the screws I have received seem to be of good or better quality. The hex holes were clean and tight with my hex wrench. The threads look well cut (or shaped?) and have a smooth feel. The only thing I noticed is that the finish is a bit matte, while the SS studs I've bought for a couple of sailboats were much shinier, almost mirror-like at times. I don't know if that means they're cast and not forged, or how they're made, or has something to do with their manufacturing process, but they look even weaker against the bright and shiny SS washer. Use them in a low torque application so I can't comment on their brittleness or ability to handle torque.

Pros
  • Manufactured from high quality 18-8 stainless steel with high chemical and corrosion resistance.
Cons
  • Almost never
