My hardware purchases include sizes beyond the M5 roof-frame fasteners. This M4 pack is a smaller metric option in the workshop kit, where keeping similar-looking pieces separated matters.
I bought M4 Stainless Split Lock Washers as part of my camper van equipment.

Separating the M4 Supply from the Roof-Frame Hardware
My roof-frame notes identify M5 hardware at the smaller extrusion.
The rack connection used a separate inch-thread group.
My broader purchases also included M4 split washers, kept as another metric size in the hardware kit.
The profiles and joint hardware during my roof-mount assembly.The drilled connectors and fasteners joining my added extrusion to the roof rack.
My Takeaway from This Job
Similar-looking washer sizes need separate places in the kit. This M4 pack supplies one size; the Sutemribor and Aienxn alternatives use divided assortments for keeping several metric sizes together.
A dedicated M4 pack and a divided assortment organize the supply differently.

Shape
Split ring
The open ring and separated ends distinguish this M4 washer from a flat disk. Put the washer shape alongside the size in the organizer rather than storing all small rings under one label. For a van service-access panel or small equipment bracket, record the complete sequence of head, washer, panel and nut. That provides a useful reference when the connection is opened and keeps the stainless M4 selection separate from the larger M5 and M6 pieces.
The split washer is an open ring with separated ends; the flat washer is a continuous disk.

Two Alternatives to Compare
Sutemribor and Aienxn offer multi-size split-washer assortments that include M4. The assortment format trades a single-size supply for several labeled compartments.
