What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise these metal mending plates for their strength, durability, and ease of installation across diverse DIY and construction projects. Most highlight the 20-gauge steel as robust and reliable for reinforcing wood joints, securing 2x4s to posts, and stabilizing fence connections. Reviewers consistently note the simple design with multiple hole placements works with both screws and nails, making installation quick and requiring no special tools. Many use them for greenhouse framing, shelving, and furniture repairs. Customers view them as excellent value for the price. A few mention the gauge feels lighter than expected for heavy-duty applications or require drilling larger holes for screws. Overall, most consider them a dependable, cost-effective solution.

Solid

Would Recommend

These things are great. I used them to build a fence connecting 2x4 rails and 4x4 posts flush so i could staple chicken wire to it and they hold up the 2x4 even with just one end attached. They are a solid attachment

It’s a solid, dependable piece of hardware.

It’s a solid, dependable piece of hardware. It isn't fancy, but it does exactly what it says on the tin: provides a strong, weather-resistant connection for structural or DIY needs.
