Just a small rant... what is +/- 5% of 0 ?

Surely if its 0 Ohms then it is not a resistor. It will not have any volts drop across when carrying current so cannot be defined as a resistor. Its a "jumper" or 'bridge".

Look at the lowest non-zero SMD 0805 1/8W chip resistor you can buy.

5mΩ ±5% = ±0.25mΩ
5mΩ ±1% = ±0.05mΩ

Extrapolate your 0Ω 5% and 0Ω 1% from that.

Yeah that’s mostly what I used them for. Sometimes with variations between chips sometimes you need bias and sometimes you don’t. Had a situation where I needed a small resistance and then with a different chip it needed bridging.
