Truss Plates 2x4, 30 Pcs Pronged Truss Mending Plate with Staggered Nail Teeth, Steel Mounting Brackets for Roofing Wood Connector, 20 Ga Thickness

Good for what I needed.

I was a little nervous as always going with anon name brand but they worked out exactly the same. They pressed in nice and kept their shape. The teeth were nice and sharp allowing them to go in with ease. They have held up great on some wall I needed to make for my chicken coop and wanted to have a little more support.

I'm not sure if these are suitable for structural applications on larger buildings, but for sheds and smaller structures these are perfect and a huge time saver when assembling trusses and framing members.The hot dipped galvanized finish looks good and holds up to a beating with a hammer.The prongs are about 5/16" tall and sink into pine framing lumber easily.Knocked off one star simply because these are priced about the same as American made name brand plates. Made in China.

Nothing special or fancy. If you need a truss plate for a 2x4 joint this is exactly what you need. If you want something with a decorative appearance this is not what you need.

The media could not be loaded. Steel ties and plates have revolutionized carpentry. It's hard to believe that nailed and toe-nailed were once the exclusive way for framing. I am an amateur, and so I tend to over do it, and I feel much better when I use plates and ties and clips in my projects.

Not very big footprint for using on a truss. I'm also not too convinced the teeth are long enough or strong enough to get a good enough bite into the lumber. I wouldn't use these for a truss other than maybe for a doghouse or something small.

Simple way to make rafters on your own. Would recommend to anyone 5 stars from me

Good quality, fast shipping, good hold.
