An external tooth lock washer has teeth that extend radially outward to bite into the bearing surface. Like internal tooth lock washers, they are designed to prevent a nut or bolt head from loosening with the strut action of the teeth. They work best with larger screw or bolt heads. External tooth lock washers provide maximum torsional resistance.

OBS

external-tooth lock-washer: designation officially approved by the Lexicon Project Committee (New Brunswick).
