I’m a bass player, and have additional rack-mounted audio equipment, so I go through a fair number of these screws. They are well made, and the plastic washers are a plus because they reduce wear and tear on the faceplate of your components. The package is priced fairly, and beats trying to buy a few bolts and washers at the local hardware.

One caveat. Like most coated bolts or rack rails, the coating can make installing the bolts either tough or impossible. I had to run the threads through a die to remove the coating before they worked well with my equipment rack rails. Fortunately, this cleanup step can be done while paying attention to something else, as it’s a rather mindless activity (“spin on, spin off” with apologies to Mr. Miyagi). I docked one star for the extra cleanup required.

When my rack was feeling lonely and empty I knew I needed to do something to ease it’s suffering. I purchased these Rack Screws and I screwed my rack with all kinds of devices. Servers screwed my rack, UPSs Screwed my rack, and even network switches. These screws are top notch for screwing racks.

I installed a rack-mount PC with these screws and they seem to be just regular rack screws – no problems or surprises. Since they don’t cost much and shipping is free, I just bought them from Amazon instead of spending time to shop and buy them locally. Gotta give this five stars.
