What Customers Are Saying

Many highlight the triple zinc coating for corrosion resistance, pre-drilled holes for flexible installation, and reliable performance reinforcing wood, metal, and plastic joints. Users appreciate their ease of use for furniture repairs, gate hinges, and creative projects. However, some report the plates are brittle and snap if bent, even slightly, limiting flexibility. A few also note packaging confusion regarding quantity. Overall, most customers find them effective for rigid reinforcement applications.

They broke/wouldn't bend in a 90 angle. But, they likely weren't designed to do so.

Brittle material.
Would Not RecommendUsing as intended would probably be fine. I tried to bend it into a tiny strap and it broke easily whether heated or not.

Fragile and easy to break.
Would Not RecommendThese items are fragile and break if they are bent. We bought four, and each one broke when we tried to bend it even the slightest. Not worth the money.
