This split lock 3/8 washer can be used in a variety of lawn and garden tools. It functions as a component that prevents nuts and bolts from loosening due to vibration when a tool is in use. It’s a split ring with a helical shape, and when fastened together, it exerts a force on the fastener for resistance to motion and increased friction. Typically, this washer is attached on the nut side of a fastener. Over time, the split lock 3/8 washer can start to wear, degrade, or fall apart. This leads to a need for replacement in order to keep the other tool components in the best shape. A flathead screwdriver can be used to pry the washer loose from the bottom or from the split in the washer. Tools needed might include ratchets, wrenches, and a screwdriver. This is a genuine OEM washer known as a 3/8 lock or 3/8 split lock washer and comes as an individual item. It’s gold in color and made out of metal. It can be used for lawnmowers, snowblowers, string trimmers, tillers, wood chippers, and edgers by Husqvarna, Craftsman, Ryobi, Poulan, Weed Eater, Ariens, Murray, and Dixon.
