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.

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.

I like using wood shims rather than plastic because I can cut them down so theyre not sticking out beyond my furniture legs. By cutting them I can actually get 3 shims out of one. Stacking them in opposite directions gives me more height too. These shims are exactly the same ones they sell in hardware stores. Theyre top quality and I would definitely recommend!

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.

This 84-pack of 8-inch shims comes in a box that can be continued to use for storage as you are using the shims. This is a bonus compared to plastic wrap that when opened you have a bunch of loose shims all around. The shims are a standard size you would expect unless you were looking for door shims. These are contractor grade shims and are comparable to what I used in the past. The angle on them is good. The shims go to taper to a height between 1/4+ to 5/16. Most of the shims measured to 7-13/16. I did count 84 shims in the box as well. If you need shims, this is a decent set.

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.

They do one thing, and they do it well and as expected. Highly recommended.

Its 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.

Great addition to my shop supplies

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.
