Steel mending plate

Would Recommend

Nice thick steel, I used it as a heavy duty mending plate and it exceeded expectations.

Great for mending wood!

Would Recommend

I bought these to connect multiple sheets of plywood together to cover a pallet floor in a basement. These are great because they are really strong so I don’t have to worry about them bending when they are walked on. I ended up buying more just to have on hand!
