Knape Vogt 256P ZC Shelf Support Review

These are *those* clips you need to buy. The Chinese version is terrible. main difference? K&V has a kink in the body. You place the top tab into the slot, push down a little to compress the clip, slide the bottom tab into the slot and release. The tension snaps it into an announcement that it's safe. Cheaper versions need to be bent with pliers and never fit "just right".

I loved the shelf supports, the inserts that fit into the vertical shelf brackets. But the vertical brackets that attach to the wall are flimsy and flimsy, and I'm afraid to press the supports into place until they're in place for fear of bending the verticals. They don't just fit in, that's for sure. When my craftsman shows up, I turn the project over to him, but I planned to do it myself.

When I was a carpenter in the 80's, KV hardware was the best there was. I recently bought a gun safe and it came with some ugly Chinese shelf brackets that actually fell out and the shelf fell within 12 hours of installation. So I went back to what I knew and ordered a pack of RF clamps. Well, even HF isn't what it used to be. They are made of thinner material and not nearly as good as I was used to. But as they say, they don't fail and they do their job.
