{"title":"Lock Washers","description":"\u003cp\u003eProtect your investments with lock washers! Most people do not know they need them until the problem is too big to fix. If you install loose fasteners on an industrial machine, for example, it is likely to break down permanently- costing you more time and money with every passing moment that the machine operates without tightening its fasteners. Lock washers are one way that can prevent this from happening by preventing nuts and bolts from loosening over time. They're easy to use, available in standards sizes 1\/4\" - 3\/4\", inexpensive, come in various sizes depending on your needs, and most importantly protect all of your vital work equipment with these simple additions!

With their split and bent shape, they create a spring-like effect that adds extra pressure to the fastener assembly. This results in increased resistance to rotation, particularly in marine, corrosive, and high-temperature environments. Made of a combination of copper, silicon, and various alloys, these washers are commonly used in plumbing, electrical, tattoo machines, and power plants. Please note that there may be slight variations in measurements due to production differences. Additionally, these washers will develop a patina over time, depending on the surrounding environment, as they are not coated with sealants to prevent this natural process. The washers you receive may have already begun to develop a patina, depending on when they were manufactured.\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Albany County Fasteners","offers":[{"title":"1 \/ 1\/2\"","offer_id":40990174806119,"sku":"ACF-LOCK-BRONZE-4","price":0.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 \/ 5\/8\"","offer_id":40990174838887,"sku":"ACF-LOCK-BRONZE-5","price":2.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 \/ 3\/4\"","offer_id":40990174871655,"sku":"ACF-LOCK-BRONZE-6","price":2.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 \/ 1\"","offer_id":40990174904423,"sku":"ACF-LOCK-BRONZE-7","price":10.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 \/ 1\/4\"","offer_id":40990174937191,"sku":"ACF-LOCK-BRONZE-8","price":7.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 \/ 5\/16\"","offer_id":40990174969959,"sku":"ACF-LOCK-BRONZE-9","price":10.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 \/ 3\/8\"","offer_id":40990175002727,"sku":"ACF-LOCK-BRONZE-10","price":15.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 \/ 1\/2\"","offer_id":40990175035495,"sku":"ACF-LOCK-BRONZE-11","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 \/ 5\/8\"","offer_id":40990175068263,"sku":"ACF-LOCK-BRONZE-12","price":36.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 \/ 3\/4\"","offer_id":40990175101031,"sku":"ACF-LOCK-BRONZE-13","price":69.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 \/ 1\"","offer_id":40990175133799,"sku":"ACF-LOCK-BRONZE-14","price":242.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 \/ 1\/4\"","offer_id":40990175166567,"sku":"ACF-LOCK-BRONZE-15","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 \/ 5\/16\"","offer_id":40990175199335,"sku":"ACF-LOCK-BRONZE-16","price":31.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 \/ 3\/8\"","offer_id":40990175232103,"sku":"ACF-LOCK-BRONZE-17","price":51.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 \/ 1\/2\"","offer_id":40990175297639,"sku":"ACF-LOCK-BRONZE-18","price":76.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 \/ 5\/8\"","offer_id":40990175330407,"sku":"ACF-LOCK-BRONZE-19","price":127.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 \/ 3\/4\"","offer_id":40990175363175,"sku":"ACF-LOCK-BRONZE-20","price":249.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 \/ 1\"","offer_id":40990175395943,"sku":"ACF-LOCK-BRONZE-21","price":930.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000 \/ 1\/4\"","offer_id":40990175428711,"sku":"ACF-LOCK-BRONZE-22","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000 \/ 5\/16\"","offer_id":40990175461479,"sku":"ACF-LOCK-BRONZE-23","price":300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000 \/ 3\/8\"","offer_id":40990175494247,"sku":"ACF-LOCK-BRONZE-24","price":510.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000 \/ 1\/2\"","offer_id":40990175527015,"sku":"ACF-LOCK-BRONZE-25","price":795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000 \/ 5\/8\"","offer_id":40990175559783,"sku":"ACF-LOCK-BRONZE-26","price":1320.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000 \/ 3\/4\"","offer_id":40990175592551,"sku":"ACF-LOCK-BRONZE-27","price":2610.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000 \/ 1\"","offer_id":40990175625319,"sku":"ACF-LOCK-BRONZE-28","price":9750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0073\/5877\/5399\/files\/Untitled_design_19.png?v=1767864706"},{"product_id":"lock-washer-1","title":"Lock Washer 1\"","description":"\u003cp\u003e1\" Lock washers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpring lock washers are used to deter your bolt and nut from loosening.
