Shim/spacer/washer AWTools AW18329 set — 300 pieces

AWTools AW18329 set — 300 pieces is a comprehensive kit of thin shims, spacers and washers supplied in a single plastic storage box with compartments and an inside lid size chart. Components are made of high-quality spring steel with a black oxide finish to resist rust and provide durable surface protection. The parts are designed to fit tightly around shafts and to assist with spacing, leveling and load distribution in mechanical assemblies, machines and repair tasks.

Advantages

The set contains a large number of uniformly manufactured shims and washers that simplify repetitive maintenance and repair work. Spring steel construction ensures elastic return and long service life, while the black oxide surface reduces corrosion and glare. The included compartmentalised plastic box with a size chart on the lid speeds up part selection and storage management, reducing search time during work. The slim profile of the shims allows precise thickness adjustments and secure retention around shafts and fastenings.

Suitable for

• Workshop and garage maintenance
• Machine assembly and alignment
• Bearing and bushing protection
• Automotive repairs and shaft retention
• Construction and service repairs requiring thin spacers

Key specifications

• Contents: 300 pieces of shims/spacers/washers
• Material: spring steel
• Surface finish: black oxide for corrosion resistance
• Packaging: plastic storage box with compartments
• Identification: size chart label on inner lid
• Typical use: spacing, leveling, load distribution and shaft retention

How to use

Select the required shim thickness using the size chart on the inside of the lid and remove the part from its compartment. Place the shim or washer around the shaft, beneath a bearing, bushing or gear as needed to achieve the required clearance or preload. For stacking, align shims carefully and verify total thickness before final assembly. Ensure mating surfaces are clean and free of debris to maintain correct seating and load distribution. When finished, return unused parts to their labeled compartments to preserve organisation.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment when handling metal parts. For critical alignments or bearing preloads, measure clearances with suitable gauges and avoid exceeding recommended tolerances. Store the set in a dry place to prolong the black oxide finish and inspect parts for deformation before use.
