The Hillman Group Bright Joint Fasteners 3/8"

These worked well on a Bamboo cutting board that had joints separating at the ends. I clamped the board and hammered these into the end grain with no problem. They may not work as well for long grain applications.

Serviceable

They are good quality, better than the ones I found in the building suppliers. But I was working on a project using old barn wood and they didn't work very well for that application.

Items deliuvered on time perfect Thanks

Holds wood frames really well.

Be sure to count how many are in the container, mine had only 93 when its suppose to have 100. I tried a few and they are hard to hammer in, first of all they are not very strong, too malleable for my liking, by the time they get in the wood they bend, secondly by the time you hammer these in, the joints of the frame which should be glued at that point will fall apart, and the hammer will indent your frame, I processed a return for these and am gonna look for a better solution

These were so frustrating. I wanted them to hold a wood frame together made from 1x2 pine. I'm a very experienced woodworker and these were very frustrating. They bent, shifted, wouldn't go into the wood. When I finally got them in they actually pulled apart my glued joint and created a new gap. I only use them on one corner because it was so frustrating and then I went to a different method. I won't be trying these again.

As described. Not cheap quality. Used them to connect miter joints in 10 window screen frames I built-strong! Hard to find these in stores these days. It seems they are becoming a forgotten product.
