Not for use with gaskets

Part dimensions 4" x 1-3/4" Actually more like 4" x 1-1/8" Not close to 1-3/4" either everything but 1/32 inch thick is hollowed out

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Other

Ideal for heavy furniture

Easy to use and perfect for heavy aquarium or other heavy furniture. I really like that they are flat so the weight is distributed better than traditional triangular pads. With some furniture, it may be difficult/impossible to attach a traditional pad and distribute the weight across the pad. We are not like that. They are perfect for this use. I wish there was a better way to hide them (e.g. black borders) as the multicolored stacks stand out

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • There are nuances

Did the job I needed.

I bought a new car battery and it was a little shorter than the one I had before. This resulted in the battery holder not being able to be tightened firmly, which allowed the battery to slip. As you can see in the picture, I made spacers for the main contact points of the bracket, which now ensures a tight fit and the battery no longer hums like a disk. Works perfectly. I'm sure they will find other uses too: they are durable, weather resistant and the different sizes are practical.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Easy to use. The specs didn't say so, but they're nominally 4" x 1-1/8" in size, with various thicknesses promised. To save on plastic(?) they are not solid but have ribs molded in to effectively be "tight" seals. The only main reason is that I wanted to use them for something other than gaskets and they are less stiff than if they were solid plastic. (This does not detract from their good quality as gaskets! They are strong enough to "squeeze" the gasket.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • New competitors

For artists! fits flat washers

I was looking for something that would help me frame a painting in a floating frame. The video showed that it was easy: simply fold a piece of cardboard from the shipping box and place it between the picture and the frame along the edges. Well, after at least an hour or even two (when I first attempted to build a floating frame), I realized that unlike ordinary guys in roller skates, I needed some reliable, solid type of "spacer" to between the canvas to slip. or board and frame. These Broadfix

Pros
  • great for me
Cons
  • speed

Ideal for spreading/folding decking boards!

I bought two sets of these boards to accommodate very long sets of mahogany decking boards. I put them together in various combinations and connected them with thick wire (e.g. a toothpick through a sandwich). The pin held them together and prevented them from sliding through the deck! They aren't hard and are made of softer plastic than we'd like. Long 2x6" lumber is never perfectly straight, so some pressure/persuasion was needed to keep some boards straight before bolting them on. In some…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Nothing

They're mostly flat, but the sizes are a joke.

From seller's description: Exact fit and alignment. Well that's a lie. I wish I had paid more attention to the size, that would be a big red flag. Something can't be 1/4 inch and 6mm at the same time, that math doesn't work. 1/4 inch is 6.35mm. So if you put four together for a 1" spacer, not that much. Each color varies in thickness, so you'll have to play around with them and a caliper to get something accurate. If you stick to your size you can make them work, they seem flat, you just can't…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Communication with seller

If you stop reading and take nothing away from this, you know that. These washers are not accurate. They can still be useful if they're consistent, but that's not even the case. There is absolutely no quality control in their production. I bought these for use in woodworking where precision is important. Wanted to check they were accurate after realizing they weren't a solid piece but had a skeletal structure (last pic I uploaded). None of the spacers met the specified thickness in metric or…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • A few little things
