Secures two piece joined together
Would RecommendThis was easy to install with a hammer. It definitely improved the integrity of the joint. Other Simpson products I have used have held up over time so I expect this will too.

Makes quick work of butt joints!
Would RecommendEasy to use and strong. It made building a frame for a small fence gate very quick and easy. I used it on some 1 x 4 pickets and it hammered in easy and gave me a rigid frame.
