A concave shaped locking washer with teeth or prongs which extend outward from the outside
edge of the washer. This maintains essential tension and opposes any loosening influence on the
fastener. The flexed teeth absorb shock, vibration and slipping.
The countersunk external tooth washer is the preferred lock washer for Flat Countersunk
or Oval Countersunk Screws with angles of 82 or 100 degrees.
