What Customers Are Saying

Most highlight the sharp prongs that penetrate standard lumber easily with just a hammer, describing installation as quick and fuss-free. Users frequently report the plates hold joints firmly for gates, rafters, and framing projects, with many saying they would repurchase. Some note difficulty driving them into pressure-treated or dense woods, where prongs may struggle or bend. Overall, reviewers consider them dependable and effective for most woodworking applications.

Was it the product or me that didn’t do right?

Would Not Recommend
