Review on πŸ”© Efficient Length Profile Socket Machine Screws Fasteners for Precise Assembly by Jonathan Abreu

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Very little thread works best for screws

I ordered 6mm long M5 low profile screws. The head was unobtrusive and just what I needed. However, as already mentioned by a previous reviewer, the screws are not fully screwed in. It was very difficult to see in the picture shown. My application didn't require the threads to be fully screwed in, but the screws I received only have about 3 threads. Even with this short 6mm screw, the threads take up about 1/3 the length of the shaft, leaving enough room for a few more threads. The screw only fits halfway into a regular M5 nut. By the time it feels like it is being screwed into the nut, the screw has bottomed out because there is no thread left. I can probably use them, but I need to add washers to tighten the bolt before it hits the ground.

Pros
  • Heavy Duty
Cons
  • Damaged
