Nelson Wood Shims - Pack of 84 Bundle, 8-inch, Made with Beddar Wood, Premium Performance, Packaging, Indoor/Outdoor Use, All Natural

Good pack of shims. Easy to break. It says rot and split resistant on the box.

The 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.

I 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.

As a homeowner doing a lot of DIY in my small apartment that has no right angles ever, shims are always in need to level mounted furniture, fill in gaps before spackling, and so on. I dont know if I will ever get through this massive pack of shims but I would rather have them on hand instead of constantly having to head out to a hardware store that often doesnt have them in stock! I cant speak to how split resistant they are but they do seem like better quality than the unbranded ones available at my local store.

I will definitely be using these for future projects. They are good quality and cut evenly.

Great for leveling purposes, installing windows, doors, etc. Though I would dispute the extent to which they claim these are split resistant – they seem to me only mildly so. But these are wood shims and wood splits. If I wanted real split resistance and product uniformity, Id probably go with a plastic or composite shim.

Some of the shims have a pointy edge like the should but a lot of them are somewhat thick at the point edge. Better to get siding shingles and cut the to size.

I got these to use on projects around the house. The quality is good, and the box is nice to keep them stored neatly. They do the job they are intended to, and I wont run out anytime soon.

I 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.

The headline almost says it all, people. For those of you out there who are unaware, my husband is a commercial cabinetmaker. He uses a lot of shims. A LOT of shims. So, when it comes to them, he knows what he’s talking about. When I told him his shims had arrived, he just kind of shrugged and acknowledged me. A few hours went by, when out of nowhere, I heard him exclaim, “These are really good shims,” and he has since told me more than once I “need to give those shims a really good review.” So, here it is, people. A really good review of these shims. Which brings me to the… Bottom line: hubby is impressed, and he does not impress easily. Highly, highly recommended.
