> 3 dayThe wood from the Beddar tree seems nicer than the average-tree shim I normally use. Knot and split free, and that can make a difference when you are putting in doors, windows, ....whatever it is you want to be closer than average. Nice that they are in a box - chasing loose shims around is a nuisance also. If you do enough work of the type needing shims, dont hesitate to put this box in stock and not have to run to the big box store at the last minute.

> 3 dayI have used wedges just like these for everything from correcting a slight difference in floors between two rooms to putting them under my Christmas trees base plate for leveling purposes. Alas, I had run out of them though. Thats why when I saw these, I jumped at the opportunity to stock up again. very economical too. The claim is made that these are better than pine or cedar wedges and I have to agree. They are extremely easy to size without spitting. All in all, Im very happy with them and highly recommend.

> 3 dayUsed these to install my bathroom door. Very nice. These are not cedar shims but some other clear grained light weight wood. They are perfectly milled and you get a whole bunch of them. They were easy to score and snap also. I think they work better than cedar shims.

> 3 dayI have only used the generic type of shims sold at hardware stores, so this was a nice upgrade. They are more consistently shaped and less prone to splitting. The price is also on the high side, but they are worth it if you want to spare some annoyance. I have an old home where nothing is straight, so I use a lot of shims for simple projects like door and window replacements. These are extremely useful.

Greater than one weekI had an idea to use wooden shims for roofing on one of my paintings. They are perfect. The wood can be stained, trimmed...whatever I want. Perfect...five stars.

Greater than one weekIts a box of wood shims. They are wood, and they shim. I use shims regularly on a number of different projects at home so this box will be great. I wont be worried about running out of shims for awhile.

> 3 dayAfter ordering this box of 84 wood shims, I dont think Ill have to buy more for a long time. I dont use wood shims that often, but its good to have a supply on hand since they are useful for a variety of purposes. These seem to be good quality shims. The only negative is that the wood is rougher than the shims I normally buy. So its more likely that you could end up with a splinter in your hand if youre not careful. You might want to wear gloves just to protect your hands when using these. But otherwise they are fine and I think this bundle is a good value considering how many you get.
