They come in 6 sizes, ranging from M3 to M10.The nuts are steel with CR3 zinc plating to prevent corrosion, made to DIN 985 standard (average contents 195).

Assorted nails consist of both masonry and common nails in a variety of lengths. The common nails are nickel plated to protect against corrosion (average contents 580).

All these Workshop Essentials come in a useful plastic organiser box 210 x 110 x 30mm.  These new essential fixings sets will stop those annoying moments when a nail, washer or clip is required and there isn’t one to hand. All fixings come with a handy selection of sizes. Prices range from £4.99 up to £11.99.
