> 24 hourI 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.

> 24 hourThe 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.

> 24 hourI 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.

> 24 hourGreat 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.

> 24 hourSome 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.

> 24 hourI 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.
