PSA: Ditch Spring/Split Lockwashers for good
http://www.boltscience.com/pages/hel...ingwashers.htm
Confirming what many automotive- and aerospace-minded have known: spring lock washers are garbage and you shouldn't use them.
This came up as part of a project I'm doing at work, where people who should have known better specified split lock washers in a critical application.
Edit: much better to use Nylok nuts or nord lockwashers in critical applications, IMO.
