What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise these mending plates for their strength and reliability in joining wood pieces securely, with most reporting they hold better than nails and perform exactly as needed for structural reinforcement. Many appreciate the sharp prongs that allow easy hammering into standard lumber like 2x4s and 2x6s. Several note difficulty driving them into dense or pressure-treated wood, requiring a heavy hammer and solid surface. A few mention minor quality concerns, but overall, reviewers consider them highly effective and dependable for reinforcing wood joints.

Would RecommendThe mending plates work as described, however, I was surprised at how difficult it was to beat into the wood considering how sharp the teeth are. Not recommended for tight spaces.
