I haven't tried nailing them, but if you did, I'm sure they'd break. They're made of a lightweight composite material that's brittle. If you absolutely must secure them, I recommend drilling a hole in them and then nailing or screwing them in place through the hole.

If you're wondering if it can support the weight of 20 gallons of water on top of the tank and its stand, I don't see why not. I'm leaning against the wall with two 4' solid wood bookcases stacked on top of each other with mending plates (so an 8' tall bookcase) filled with about 3000 dvds. However, if you can't empty it first, I'd recommend lowering the water level in your aquarium because the water is likely to slosh around a bit. If you plan on leveling a 20 gallon aquarium with these shims while the aquarium is still full of water, I'd be more concerned about whether the stand your aquarium sits on has the right leg design to withstand the shock of doing so.

The product is in perfect condition, except for the outrageous price. off. A 12-piece package is available at Lowes. for $1. 67, and they appear to be the same. I'd return them, but it'd be too much trouble for $8.
These things are borderline crap now, as of 8/13/18. They do not interlock and will break or shatter if a nail or screw is driven through them. The only time they'd be useful is for shimming up - only a single piece- a planter or a grill for outside. Save your money and come up with a better solutionbr>br>solidly constructed - However, it was ill-conceived. They are smooth on one side and corrugated on the other - which achieves nothing because it does not bite into the wood and does not lock together when multiple shims are stacked - They are better than wood shims because they do not interlock and do not require adhesive to keep them together for the long haul. br>br>They do not interlock and do not require adhesive to keep them together for the long haul.

I had an old Rubbermaid Storage shed that came with the house, but the doors never closed properly, indicating that the original installer did not follow the leveling instructions. I stacked five of these bad boys and used a 5 sledge to smash them in. And now that the shed is level enough for the doors to close, that's a significant cost savings and/or a significant amount of time spent moving and relocating the shed. I was leveling a 15-year-old shed that I would have eventually replaced for a few hundred dollars. br>Because it's outside, the material is well-suited to the environment and will not rot. br>Overall, I give these a 10/10 because they were exactly what I was looking for and performed as expected.
They're a hysterical bunch. As if they were giant, flat, black bananas.
I bought these shims to level some bookcases in my office before anchoring them to the wall. I wanted everything straight and even before I anchored them to the wall. These shims were chosen not only because I wanted to experiment with composite materials, but also because their color matched the bookcases. Everything is now square, plumb, and level.
These are a bit overpriced if you don't really need rot-proof shims. However, they do not snap well. It'll be necessary for you to cut them. This is a ROYAL annoyance. They did, however, keep my door shut. So that's a plus. br>I would not suggest or purchase them again. You'll save a lot of time and money if you just buy the wood shims from Home Depot. That is, unless you have a wet/damp application, in which case this is a good option.
It's easy to "snap" and it's consistent. Shims are rigid enough to not compress or deform under heavy loads or when used as a wedge in gaps. I've smashed them with a hammer surprisingly hard without cracking a single corner. They are tough and rigid without being brittle. There was no splitting or cracking when I screwed (8) and nailed (12D) through them. They're made in a safe and environmentally friendly manner. The composition and dimensions of each shim are the same. They are, in essence, pre-fabricated. They're easy to snap at the right length/thickness because of their "ribbed" design. They cut easily with snips, diagonals, or a knife if you can get a clean shot with a hammer to snap them or if you don't have strong hands. Deal Guys got them to me quickly, in perfect condition, and at a great price. rot" claims, but based on what I've seen/felt in terms of manufacturing quality and design, I'm confident they'll work reliably both inside and out.
A fantastic shim that is both firm and long-lasting. The construction is good, and one side is thin enough to wedge under a piece of clothing. However, depending on the application, they can be difficult to install; for example, I bought one to use under a refrigerator and had a lot of trouble getting the fridge's wheel to fit on the shim. It would be preferable if the shim had a non-skid backing, which would make it easier to get it underneath the fridge and into place. Other applications, I'm sure, would benefit from it.
