The chain is fine...but I ordered the wrong size. Nine links of the chain I ordered equals six of the size I wanted. My error...
How can I straighten out the springs? I can't use them coil uo as is.

When your assembly needs a wider bearing surface without the bulk of a separate washer, these flanged pan head blunt screws deliver. The integrated flange spreads clamping force evenly, reducing the risk of pull‑through in thin sheet metal, plastic, and wood panels. Manufactured from hardened carbon steel and available in bright nickel or black zinc plating, they resist corrosion in indoor and mild outdoor environments while maintaining a clean, professional look. Although the blunt point is designed for pre‑drilled holes, the sharp metric coarse thread cuts its own precise mating thread as you drive, giving you a strong, vibration‑resistant joint. Covering the full micro‑range from M1.4 to M4, this series equips you with the exact fastener for electronics, furniture, automotive trim, and light fabrication.

* Length measured from under the flange (thread length only). Choose your preferred size and length from the listing variations. All screws are fully threaded with metric coarse pitch.
Yes. A blunt point requires a pre‑drilled or punched hole of the appropriate diameter. The screw then forms its own thread in the material. This design provides a stronger, more controlled thread engagement and reduces the risk of splitting thin sheet metal or plastic.
The flange spreads the clamping pressure over a larger area, acting like a built‑in washer. It prevents the screw from pulling through soft or thin materials and often eliminates the need for a separate washer, saving assembly time and keeping the finished appearance clean.
Absolutely. The blunt point and sharp thread work well in pre‑drilled wood and plastic. For softer plastics, you may not need a pilot hole, but for hardwoods or brittle materials, a pilot hole ensures the best result without cracking.
Length is measured from under the flange to the tip of the thread, so it represents the maximum material thickness you can clamp. The flange thickness and head height are additional.
