Greetings,

If you are referring to the Post Style Crimping die, I would not. They did not come supplied with one. A lock washer would gouge the surface of the tool head and nut.

Cheers,

Dave

If you are talking about the post style taper crimp die, there should be a FLAT washer between the nut and the top of the tool head.  The die was initially supplied with one.
