Just did an internet search for split lock washers and found many comments that they do not prevent fasteners from coming loose. I don't know what to believe now.
I guess if stupid people use them, they don't work.
They work fine. Never had a problem other than if they were sprung and worn out.
I've never had a problem with lock washers.
I have seen them come loose . When idiots put a flat washer under them. What sense does it make to lock a bolt to a flat washer that isn't locked to the surface.
That's true, but we're not talkin about aviation.
Don't believe everything you read on the internet.

How about NASA? (Go to page 9)

Well we all know if it is on the internet it is true. People are not allowed to lie on the internet.
