My Takeaway from This Job
Washer size, ring form and finish are distinct choices in this hardware kit. The uxcell pack concentrates on M5 stainless split washers, the assortment adds other metric sizes, and the black pack changes the finish within the M5 group.
Compare the washer size, split-ring form and finish separately.

Form
Split ring
An M5 split washer has an interrupted ring rather than the continuous disk of a flat washer. The two forms occupy space differently beneath a bolt head or nut. When laying out a small van bracket, include every washer in the fastener stack and compare the bearing surface around the hole. Keep metric size groupings separate so an M5 washer is not selected solely because it looks close to another size. The washer form is one part of the joint arrangement.
