Thanks - 69yo woman who was taught cooking and sewing instead of nuts and bolts and woodwork at school. Glad we have progressed and thanks to you for explaining the washers - basic but necessary.

I feel you on that

Thank you for the education on these different types of washers!!

Excellent.👍

Wow you are really enthusiastic about washers. Very helpful! Thanks. I am reassembling an espresso machine

“Don’t know anybody like that!” I chuckled 😊

“Get not respect” I learned this the hard way,, after I lost them during assemble, then thought: what difference would it make? Things become loose and falling 😅

Flat Washers - these can increase the Clamping Force. A Flat Washer should be used under a Nut so that the nut does not bind on the assembly it is holding together, that is, hold the Bolt Head stationary and turn/tighten the nut, the nut will rub against the washer as it turns and not mark the assembly.

another somewhat common but less noticed washer are vibration dampening washers, aka rubber washers, you'll commonly find them around motors or for transport, like on a brand new washing machine, it will have rubber washers with flat washers on top.

I try to keep a good mix of washers on hand, but usually still have to go back to the hardware store because I either didn't have enough or had a surprise repair job.

What indications should you look for in a crush washer that it may need replacing?

The most obvious answer is: is there any leak? e.g. the crush washer around the oil pan drain plug / bolt.

Thanks...I am bolting wood on a greenhouse in the wind so this is helpful.

What washer is used on an input jack of back of speaker cabinet?

Very clear. Thanks!

Thank you. Never knew.

Thanks for the knowledge sharing. Be well ✌️

If you need to learn about washers, ask a bolt!

Thank you. It may depend on the material of the mirror. Might try a lock washer.

This is awesome.

Do you need a nut to secure further? I have a Thule bike rack with bolt and lock washer but no nut . Is this ok? I tried Thule site but no help. The bike rack is second hand.

yep, still need a hex nut

Great video

Kids today know how to edit out the false start at the beginning of the video. Otherwise good, informative video.

I think if you seriously wanted to spread washer love, it's better to tell us more when to use it other than machinery. Or demonstrate how big of a difference it is with and without washer. I basically found some washer when decluttering. Thinking of throwing it out cuz it doesn't seems like I'll be using it.

Didn’t show the external lock washer in use.

I noticed you washer hands and under your fingernails really well before making a video where they would be the stars of the show… well done my friend. Got my like and sub 😂 (you see what I did there 👆👆👆)

Washer? I hardly know her! 😂

Please remove auto translation; youtube translated washers as ... washing machines ...

I’m always so interested by what different regions call split lock washers because I’ve actually heard so many different names. I’ve always just called them lock washers
