Works excellent and easy to install but would make sense to have a section that makes each one level with bottom of joists to help us quickly install

I would recommend these for indoor use.
Would RecommendCheap, easy to use. Used these inside an attic to hang a couple joists to close up a hole in the ceiling. If I was building a deck, I wouldn't use these unless they were powder-coated. Zinc helps protect from rust, but it is consumed over time as it protects the metal underneath. Lowes sells a powder-coated version of these for a little more money.
Works Fine
Would RecommendI used for Rafter Tie on the end of header, where there was no room for regular tie.

Good concealment and spring back
Would RecommendConcealed flange is excellent for tight spaces. Nice and malleable for using on shorter pieces where the corners need hammering. no sharp die cut slop, all the holes are consistent, very good product
