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

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

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.

After 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.

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 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.

Used 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.

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.

I kind of love and hate these shims. Lol. On one hand, they are very hard and rigid...much more so than either standard cedar or plastic. This is a definite plus in terms of durability. On the other hand, they dont break off easily. This makes them a little more difficult to work with. This is the only reason I deducted one star. In the final analysis, though, durability is probably the more important factor when constructing something thats intended to last. All in all, this is a good product.

Great addition to my shop supplies
