20-Pack with Screws - Heavy Duty Figure 8 Table Top Connector or Desk Top Fastener Clip - 12 Gauge Steel

Picked these up to secure a 1" top to a bench in the garage that I had long lost the original clips for. For that use, you can't go wrong with these. The hardware is more than adequate, the clips sturdy with no concerns of bending if I do have to lift by the top, and I'm sure I'll have no issues with these at all. Cheap, quick, perfect solution!

I used these to fasten the top on a larger than normal coffee table that was commissioned by my niece. I was thinking due to the size of the top that I would need 6 to 8 of these fasteners since the weight of the base was so heavy. Didn't want the base to get ripped off when someone picked up on the top to move it.After installing 4 in the corners at the ends, I realized these things are super strong and didn't need any additional fasteners. They held without problem. One thing I did was to use a forstner bit to make the recess in the end rails and then a chisel to widen the inside so the fastener could move with any wood expansion.I would highly recommend these and will be buying more when I use these up.

These F8 fasteners Worked really well and were easy to install.

Both items as advertised delivered overnight, good price

I saw a YouTube video about using these to mount a shelf unit on a wall. Turns out these work pretty well. One part of each screw/connector is countersunk into the shelf, the other is mounted in a stud for safety. The price is ridiculously expensive for just using two of them and there is some effort involved in measuring accurately and countersinking the connector. But it is so worth it, a genuine solution to a difficult problem. I'm looking for other projects where I might use them.
