MaxTite Pine Wood Shims, Professional Contractor Grade (Box of 120)

Overall unlike most shims i have dealt with which will can easily give you a blister. This set was well made and overall the best quality shim i have received.

I use wood shims to help set rocks securely in a vise before slabbing them in a slab saw. I had been using what my local hardware store usually had - always picking up 10 or 20 at a time because they get broken or lost in oil or stolen by the gnomes. I had been using Nelson kiln-dried wood shims for years because thats what my local store always carried... They work but they dont have a lot of give to them and often break instead of bend. I am sure they have lots of other great functions, but now that Ive found these Pine shims, I dont think Ill ever use anything else.... The point of using shims in the vise is to protect your vise pads - so the stone digs into the shims but not into the pads. These have GREAT bite. You can really see the rock sinking into the shim when tightening the saw. And I love how you get 120 for just $22. This is the brand Im sticking with from now on.

Exactly as described, high quality, arrived promptly and in great condition!

Wood is good quality. Thickness very good.

Very rough and uneven edges, not at all as advertised. Would not purchase again.

I like how it crackles when it burns

Looks like this box was stored under a leaky pipe in the warehouse. Moldy, crusty shims. I nearly passed-out when I inhaled the active mold spores that wafted from this box. Amazon choice, indeed.

I bought this box of shims for my craft projects. They are just perfect for what I needed. They came early. Wrapped well ,good thickness to them. I will order from this seller again!

Excellent quality shims, much better than what I previously had.

Theyre good pine shims. I prefer cedar ones, but these are trying times for lumber.
