Ease of use
Would RecommendFantastic! Made putting up my posts so much easier.
Worked great with J-Bolts for deck building
Would RecommendWork great to hold 6x6 to concrete. Make sure to use j-bolt wet set anchors if you want to work quickly. The screw in type need to let the concrete set for a couple weeks first. Remember these just prevent uplift - your posts will be wobbly still until adding the beams and joists, that’s normal.
