What is it? part 1

Just moved a wife in and found these in a box of odds and ends. Looks to me like something left over from an install but I can't get rid of them until I know for sure. It's a debilitating ailment I have.

Those are stabilizing bolts for a washing machine that were removed at installation. I had a hunch but Google image search came in clutch again

That was quick. Thanks mike.

Hang on to them if you ever want to move it more than a few inches.

Yup. I finally tossed mine and their 17-year-old front-loading Bosch that was losing its main rear bearing.

Never throw anything. You never know when it's going to be needed.

As an appliance tech I ran into some good ones. I had a call on a washer that shook real bad at a local fire station. As I walked in the door I noticed that the door was propped open with the counterweight that comes with a washer. No wonder it was shaking. I did have to order the bolts that held it on, they had thrown them away but kept the block to use as a door stop. I didn't trust that fire department much after that.
