    The noise in the background was executed to perfection. Also, you may want to explain a bit more about how lock washers work.

    I once came across those plastic looking washers... AutoZone guy called it "Crush Washers". I thought they were weak but they were ok. Used for oil drain... For oil drain plug I prefer washer with rubber interior with metal exterior.. not sure whats it called. Great Video!!

    Sir u did awesome job bt can u tell me whats the uses kf tapered washer ???

    • @AlbanyCountyFasteners
      @AlbanyCountyFasteners  Před 4 lety +1

      Taper washers are used on channel sections, beneath nuts with tapered flanges, to enable the bolt assembly to fit square when tightened.

    @12:42 whats the diameter of this washer?

    • @AlbanyCountyFasteners
      @AlbanyCountyFasteners  Před 4 lety

      Inner or outer diameter? Off hand, I'm not sure. I believe that day we used a 1/2" x 1-1/2" washer.

    almost all split lock washers do little to help if not hurt the vibrational loosening of fasteners... any sort of hardened fastener will flatten out the split lock well before your end goal torque/clamp load is achieved...
    also using them with a flat washer removes half the utility of a split lock which can be to 'bite' into your fastener/joint material as well as the miniscule restorative spring force you might get.

    origin of the term washer?

    • @AlbanyCountyFasteners
      @AlbanyCountyFasteners  Před 4 lety

      The origin of the word is unknown, or at least not entirely clear. There are theories, but nothing concrete as to why they are called "washers." From Wikipedia: "The origin of the word is unknown; the first recorded use of the word was in 1346, however, the first time its definition was recorded was in 1611."

  • @bramblebop1904

    Why are they called "washers"? What are they washing.

    • @AlbanyCountyFasteners
      @AlbanyCountyFasteners  Před 3 lety +2

      No one knows for sure why they are called washers. The origin of the name is unknown. They only thing we know is that these pieces of hardware have been called "washers" since around 1346, the earliest recorded instance of the word. There's no firm evidence as to why they got this name.

    • @bramblebop1904
      @bramblebop1904 Před 3 lety

      Haha, thanks, this makes sense that the name doesn't make any sense. Your explanation brings comfort. 👍😁

    • @sweetpadre
      @sweetpadre Před 7 měsíci +1

      Maybe leftover from shipping days of yore. Perhaps a corruption of the word "awash".

    Have up half way through. Poorly -- very poorly -- explained. For instance, the split washer: the thicker one ('high collar'?) 'would require more torque' --well duh! Give us examples. And when should you use these rather than the next type, toothed (?) washer? Then for the toothed there's internal and external with thousands of applications but so many you can't give us a couple -- it's for us to decide! And have these anti-vibration (I'm going to call them that) washers been superseded by nylock nuts? Didn't occur to you.
