Quick Repair Washers
Quick Repair Washers: The Fast Solution for Maintenance Needs
Quick repair washers, sometimes called snap washers, are hinged, two-piece, steel fasteners that can be radially installed and secured by tapping shut with a hammer. They are often used in agricultural applications where extra spacing or shimming is required. Radial application allows for removal and installation of the part without taking apart other mechanical components in the assembly.
These washers play a crucial role in minimizing downtime during maintenance operations, as they are engineered for rapid deployment. Their versatility allows them to be used across a broad spectrum of repair tasks, including plumbing, electrical, and structural fixes. The ability of snap washers to maintain tightness and withstand pressure is invaluable in situations where time is of the essence and reliability is paramount.

Quick Repair Washers vs. Standard Flat Washers
While these two washers provide the same functionality to an application, flat washers are not conducive to immediate repair or maintenance needs because you must disassemble the application for installation and removal. Snap washers can be radially installed with the entire application intact.
