- General repair
- Metric hardware
- Workshop stock
A tidy, inexpensive metric nut-bolt-washer kit that covers the most common M5–M8 repairs. Buy it for the workshop drawer, not for outdoor or structural work.
Pros
- Real matched sets — bolts, nuts and washers in the same M5/M6/M8 sizes so you can actually complete a joint, not just fill drawers
- Reusable divided case keeps sizes sorted and is easy to grab off a shelf
- Cheap enough (~$10) to keep on hand for appliance, furniture and equipment repairs
Cons
- Metric only — useless for the SAE/inch hardware still common on US tools and machinery
- Zinc plating is indoor/light-duty corrosion protection; it will rust outdoors or in damp areas
- Bolts top out around 25–40mm long, so nothing here works for thick stack-ups
