We were taught in A&P school not to reuse them, but my personal opinion is to just use some common sense. If they still go on real tight they are O.K. If not, don't use them on your plane. I use new self locking nuts for critical things anyway since they are not very expensive and I save the used ones for less critical assemblies.
