What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise these brackets for their robust construction, strength, and reliability. Most highlight the metal build and zinc coating as superior to cheaper alternatives, with many noting they handle heavy loads and demanding conditions effortlessly. Reviewers consistently commend the easy installation, particularly when using screws instead of nails, and appreciate the low-profile design that fits standard boards like 2x6 and 2x8 lumber. Several customers report using them for versatile applications beyond original intent—fence bracing, rafter ties, joist hanging—and many express intent to repurchase. A few mention minor hand-nailing difficulties or specific drilling needs, but these rare concerns barely diminish the overwhelmingly positive reception.

Strong tie
Would RecommendI purchased this product because I needed to secure a 2”x8” board to a frame. The board was previously secured by nails which over time failed to hold. This product solved the problem. The board is in place firmly and securely. I am satisfied with this purchase.
Take your time installing it
Would RecommendPerfect for a 2x6 fence board. This made it easier to properly adhere fence boards
It can make joist hanging easier.
Would RecommendProduct is great for hiding brackets. It’s a strong bracket.
Excellent product.
Would RecommendI bought these joint hangers to help secure the casters on a mobile workbench I built recently. The hangers worked perfectly for the application I bought them for. They added the strength I needed to keep the wheels in place, especially when I move the bench along my uneven garage floor. These are not like the flimsy hangers I have purchased in the past. They are made from durable metal and can easily handle the load placed on them and can be used for more than one application. I plan to purchas...
Right tool for job
Would RecommendGreat product. Depending on your project this can be a lifesaver. I needed to attach a 2x6 to the corner of a 6x6 post. These brackets made it possible and sturdy.

I do things right
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.
