Description of 🔧 Reusable Handi-Shim for Precise Construction Leveling and Plumbing

Reusable Handi-Shims are a revolutionary way of shimming, spacing, plumbing and leveling. They are available in four sizes; 1/32" (green), 1/16" (red), 1/8" (white), and 1/4" (blue). Reusable Handi-Shims are made in attached couples for deep applications but are each scored to snap into as many as three smaller spacers (six per couple), making them extremely economical. They cost approximately 20% less, on average, per unit!. Ideal for plumbers, electricians, masons, carpenters, cabinet makers, roofers, tilers, drywall hangers, HVAC contractors, steel fabricators, landscapers, and DIY’ers. Handi-Shims are compression-resistant and thus ideal for long-term stability and for spacing wall tiles to any height. Handi-Shims do not rot. They are reusable and virtually indestructible. They can be used on job after job after job. Handi-Shims are made using non-toxic polypropylene (plastic).

Perfectly level kitchen cabinets

These are the best spacers on the market. I used them to install a kitchen cabinet. First use the laser level and find the highest point on the floor by setting it as your height.

Then take these spacers and stack them on top of your cabinets and add enough of them to just bisect the laser line. Do this around the back and front. Turn the cabinets over and screw the standoffs to the floor…

Excellent goods!

I have used standard wood spacers for a long time and have never liked the fact that it is a load bearing ramp. If you think about it, that's a very thin line that carries the load. These pads are flat so they distribute weight more evenly. The exact thickness also made it easier to understand what I needed where. However, this may take longer than with wood spacers as it takes time to find the perfect combination of spacer gauges, but the end result is much better and well worth it. They are…

Endless uses beyond shimming.

Keep these handy and you'll find many uses. Sharp edges on thicker pieces are great for scraping off wet glue when gluing a project; also for sealant cleaning; also for removing dried adhesive on painted surfaces; also for cleaning the solution from cracks in the tools; etc. Also suitable for measuring small sizes. Have you ever tried to get an accurate 1/8 inch measurement by holding the tape measure against something? Mostly it's guesswork. They allow you to place the assembly next to the…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Socket required
