What are those washers called that are used to retain something on a shaft? They have 2 or 3 (or 4 or 5?) tabs around the inside, and you push them over the shaft so the tabs stop the washer from falling off.
Lockwashers?
washer does.
Of course I've got a better name for them... ;-)
Pingfuckit in my case.
You sometimes see them in cars. Used over a plastic peg to secure trim. try to remove them and the peg breaks.
Funny you should say that, I've just discovered that my electric stapler has got one of those. It's not mentioned in the parts list. I found it when I took the front plate off to clear a jam and forgot to take the spring pusher out of the magazine first. No damage, except to my pride, and nothing lost except face. I had taken the plug out of the socket, though.
Starlock.
Brilliant. Thank you!
Anyone know if anyone sells an assortment pack of these?
Pleasure.
Like most 'unusual'[1] fittings they tend to get sold only in a specific size. Various people on eBay flogging bags of 10 in a given size (I presume they buy in bulk and rebag them) so might be worth asking if they'd put together an assortment pack for you.
[1] In the sense they don't usually get bought outside of manufacturing.
When someone asked before I did manage to find a supplier - not today though, sorry.
(I've needed one of these things about half a dozen times in the last year or so, hence the requirement. I've found that the assortment boxes of bits and bobs (machine screws, bolts, etc.) from Screwfix are some of the most useful things I've bought...)
Hmmmmm.
You're welcome.
