What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise these brackets for sturdy steel construction, reliable performance, and excellent value. Most highlight the durable, solid metal that resists bending and handles heavy-duty applications like reinforcing furniture and securing rooftop tents. Many appreciate the straightforward installation, nicely spaced holes, and smooth finish that simplify alignment and screw placement. The compact, versatile design works well for Murphy beds, bi-fold doors, wheelbarrows, and fence gates. A few note the brackets are slightly thinner than expected or that holes lack countersinking, but these minor concerns rarely deter satisfaction. Overall, customers consider them a worthwhile, affordable solution.

Easy to use

Would Recommend

Used this to secure two countertops together. Works as described

no countersinking

Would Not Recommend

These aren't even slightly countersunk, so wood screw heads do not sit flush. For many jobs that's not a big deal but, for about the same price, galvanized nail plates (for which you have to provide your own screws) would be stronger and last longer with exactly the same deficit. These plates are supposed to be neat and cheap but without countersinking they're really neither.

Inexpensive product that gets the job done.

Would Recommend

This is a great, sturdy piece of metal to hold pieces of lumber together. And the price is fantastic, especially if you need multiple.

Sturdy

It worked great for securing my rooftop tent on my truck bed. Not as thick as the ones that came with the tent. I decided to use 2 plates for peace of mind and it did the job.
