Product Description

By entering your model number, you can make sure that this fits.

They are 20% less expensive than standard shims and come in four color-coded thicknesses and 15 size and quantity combinations.

With only one shim (no need to overlap two wedge-shaped shims), Handi-Shims create a secure, flat base.

Handi-Shims are made of plastic and can be used in a variety of applications. They are resistant to compression, do not rot, and can be reused.

Handi-Shims can be used as spacers and scribes with great precision.

For small-scale jobs, Handi-Shims can be easily and neatly cut into smaller units and secured with a pre-drilled screw hole.

Small Shims Can Be Very Helpful These fit perfectly inside my kitchen cabinet door hinges, which were an eighth of an inch too small

5/5

They were soft enough that you could drill through them and cut them with regular scissors. This is extremely beneficial!.

I'd rate it a 6 out of 10

5/5

In our basement, we have a few small can lights that were not properly installed. All of the bulbs were replaced with LEDs by my husband. The cans refused to return to their original position in the ceiling. Our entire lighting system (20 lights) was suspended from the ceiling. We got these and were able to keep them in the hole for the first time! So happy. Also, we still have more than half of the pack. But it was well worth the money.

Please be aware: This isn't a solid piece of plastic

3/5

This is not visible in the one photo provided by the seller. A solid plastic shim was required for my needs. This will be returned to you.

I was able to achieve my goal

4/5

It did exactly what I needed it to do, which was to bridge the gap between two different floors beneath one side of the tmould transition.
*Tip- Place them in the freezer and take out two of them at a time. To easily snap the segments apart, do so three at a time; otherwise, they will flex too much and will need to be torn or cut.

NOTHING LIKE I EXPECTED TO GET - better

5/5

I use shims for more things than most people, and these work well and are inexpensive, as well as being adjustable in size (thanks to the perforations). I wish I'd kept these for a long time.

Too short

3/5

Ok, but too short to be useful for much. The solid area could at least be the width of a 2x4 and it would help if one of the two edges didn't taper, making these more useful as door or window shims.

Spacers made of glass

5/5

Because I couldn't figure out what size washer I needed, I bought these. These are more substantial and serve as spacers for me.
