What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise these structural ties for exceptional strength and reliability in high-stress applications like hurricane-prone areas and heavy-load scenarios. Reviewers highlight real-world durability—roofs withstanding high winds for decades and preventing truss uplift effectively. Installation is consistently described as intuitive and straightforward, with users appreciating the flexibility to use nails or screws and noting they simplify one-person jobs like attaching rafters or hanging beams. Many express strong trust in consistent quality and repeat-purchase loyalty. A few mention minor concerns about sharp edges or thickness, though these isolated observations do not diminish the overwhelming positive consensus.

Check around for these clips with the competitors; they all didn’t have enough for what I needed. But Lowe’s had more than enough.

It’s a hurricane tie.

Would Recommend

They are good standard hurricane ties. The ears can get bent while installing joists, but they are easily bent back into place.
