Shim Flat Plastic 60PK

I was looking for shims to place under my dresser in the master bedroom because the drawers kept sliding open. Everything I found was angled or sloped, which didn’t work—until I came across these. I love that they’re flat, crisscrossed, and come in a variety of sizes. You can even stack them to adjust the height. These will definitely come in handy for all sorts of projects!

All sizes included are very close to their stated nominal thickness. I checked several of each. And, they are a dense type of plastic those doesn't easily compress. At least I couldn't get any to easily in a vise. They are a well made product. I also like how many you get. Not a stupid small amount like with some.

These are handy to have and work as well as I expected them to, but there's one annoyance. They're packaged in the flimsiest plastic so when you're taking them out and putting them back in the box it flexes all over the place. But since it's a relatively cheap product I can look past that. I do like these much more than my previous method of using playing cards as shims.

I bought these shims/spacers so that I could shim the floating shelf in our shower so that it was more sturdy. They worked perfectly for that. When I remodeled the shower, I had to do a lot of work to the studs to get them plumb, level, and square so that the backer board and shower panels would be straight and level. I used cardboard drywall shims for that, but I wish I had had these on hand at the time. I could have used the various thicknesses to get different areas of the studs in the ballpark, and then just stacked the cardboard shims to match these spacers. I will for sure use them when we remodel the rest of the bathroom, since we will be replacing our wood-panel walls with sheetrock. I will use these for sure.

So much better than wood shims in certain situations!

Nice assortment of thicknesses.

Handy to have in the tool box. They can save the day sometimes.

Used these to align kitchen cabinets. They work well but if you have to stack them together, they slip apart easily due to the hard plastic. Would be nice if they would interlock like Legos. Not convinced they will remain in place. Used some silicone caulking. Hopefully that will hold them in place.
