I wasn't happy with the rust on the screws in the plastic.

I was not happy with the rust on the screws in the plastic bag. He tells me that these are cheap Chinese metal products with no anti-rust protection.

Ideal for home network rack

Like another viewer, I purchased the 12U rack (B072BXSTY8) directly from NavePoint and quickly realized I really needed more of the square head screws that came with it. They arrived quickly and I was able to set up my racks easily with no fuss. I agree that they feel smaller and the plastic washers feel odd, but they seem to hold all my gear and while they may be small, I appreciate the added lighter weight.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • There are drawbacks

The heads are too small; pulls through square holes

Useless. The heads of these screws in no way correspond to a standardized specification. They are smaller than the square hole in the rack itself. You will need washers to make them work and the washers provided are plastic. That means you're trusting the plastic washer with the entire weight and capital cost of your Cisco router. Stay away and look elsewhere. Absolutely idiotic measurements.

Pros
  • That's awesome
Cons
  • Mostly ok, but...

They are different from what came in the 12U rack from the same company.

. So I bought these items to review. To my surprise, the screws included in this kit are different from the screws included in the 12U case. They have a slightly smaller head and come with plastic washers - the screws in the 12U case didn't have washers (or didn't need them). They work and will do their work.

Pros
  • . Easy to use.
Cons
  • . Has defects.

Now with smaller screw heads!

Good quality in the past, now junk. I bought these screws two years ago and the screw heads were 11.6mm in diameter. The screws I received today (May 21, 2018) are only 9.6mm in diameter - only 57% of the screw head area. The smaller screw heads are dwarfed by plastic washers, and the smaller head has twice the load. Looks like someone decided to cut corners at Shenzhen Screw Factory #17. I will attach a picture of the old screw and the new screw side by side. Edit: I just checked and according

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Compatibility

Poor materials and construction - do not buy

I would caution anyone against buying these cage nuts, washers and bolts. Before my review, let me point out that I have been working with servers and data centers for many years. I've seen my fair share of good and bad quality hardware. Upon initial inspection, I noticed that the cage nuts were very thin and some were even unusable. Properly functioning cage nuts should be spring loaded but not prone to excessive deformation. The washers are plain plastic washers. They are very difficult to…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
