Torque washers increase the bearing area under a carriage bolt’s head, and prevent it from spinning as it is tightened. They are ideal for use in constructing swing sets, docks and decks. Torque washers have four prongs that bite into the lumber to prevent spinning, and a central square hole for the carriage bolt under-head square “nut.” They work best with softwoods and man-made composite lumber and are not likely to give good results with tropical hardwoods like Ipe. China.

Comments about 1/4'' Stainless Steel Torque Washers:
These are a must have to install sides on a trailer using cap screws. Some Cap screws always want spin. These prevent that and save a lot of time and frustration. Cap screws look much nicer and don't scratch items you are hauling. I am using 5/4 x 1 x 10' decking boards but using plywood or decking would work just as well.

These are great for working with carriage bolts but no one carries them.
