Build A BENCH IN ONE HOUR
This product is wonderful. It's the second time I have used them.I built a super strong solid workbench in less than an hour!!! Cut four 4"x4"s to length, place the Simpson Strong Tie brackets over the 4x4s, screw them in with your drill, add the 2x4s and bingo D O N E !!!Later if you like, unscrew everything to transport the bench or modify your bench!!!It's a complete no brainer!!David RodwellWinston Salem, NC

Happy to find these on Amazon
I built a nice workbench years ago using these ties, and was dismayed that I could not find them in any store recently (Home Depot and Lowes both had plenty of other ties in 2021, but none for 4x4 legs, which is what I wanted). I really only needed 4 for the workbench, but bought the 8-pack because I'm thinking of maybe making a nice grill table too. If not, I'm sure I'll make something else out of the other 4 - the fact that no store had them told me I should get a few extra.If you want the ties for attaching 4x4s to 2x4s, these are what you want.

Makes Me a Better Carpenter Than I Probably Deserve to Be
I am a big fan of the entire Simpson Strong-Tie family of products. They make joint work exceptionally strong, simple, and nearly idiot-proof. I bought a box of eight of these RTC42 brackets . I used one to make a platform bed for my son (for the far corner from two sides lag-screwed into the wall studs). I used the remainder to make a work bench in my shop. Both are rock-solid, and neither took me more than half a day to assemble. I've used other Simpson brackets on outdoor projects and they are durable and corrosion resistant.

SOLID PRODUCT
I just finished building a rolling workbench for my garage/shop and used 8 of these. The rolling bench is super stable, has no flex whatsoever, and allowed me to incorporate 4x4 legs with casters and 2x6 stringers for the sides. The ties are solidly made, have a number of well positioned holes for screws, and just allowed the project to come together very quickly. I'm very happy with the quality of the product, and wouldn't hesitate to use them again on another building project.
