Some of the many other uses for Handi-Shims include: Spacing - Required for movement in plywood sheathing, Handi-Shims will help you achieve that required space. They can be placed on the floor to keep materials such as sheet rock, plywood, wood panels and concrete board from touching a damp floor. Installing a basement ceiling? Use a Handi-Shim to space pipes from ceiling joists while waiting for sheet rock to be installed at a later date. Scribing - Can be done in confidence knowing your exact size Handi-Shim will always create a perfect scribe. Leveling - When working with hinges, simply place a Handi-Shim under the door to give you the desired height, allowing you to cut in your hinges with ease. The 1/32" shim can also be used behind the hinges if needed. Masonry - Handi-Shims can be used in the building of stone walls. By placing a shim between the stones as you construct the wall, it will aide in keeping the stones from pushing out the cement between the stones as more weight is applied. They can also be used for equal spacing of paving stones. These are nearly a fraction of the uses tried and tested for the multi-versatile Handi-Shim. How will you use your Handi-Shims? Additional Info: After hearing many stories of the sometimes odd and ingenious methods used by tradesmen to shim, plumb, le From the Manufacturer Handi-Shims are innovatively-designed, precision-made, plastic shims. They are simply the best shims available anywhere and actually cost less than the inferior wooden wedges that contractors and do-it-yourselfers have put up with for years. They are produced in four color-coded thicknesses (1/32, 1/16, 1/8, and 1/4 Inch) so that they can be used, singly or in combination, in the most exacting of conditions. Unlike wedges, Handi-Shims have flat tops and flat bottoms, enabling them to provide solid support and do consistent shimming in all applications. And you only have to use one to get the strong, flat base that would require two overlapping wedges. Made of plastic, Handi-Shims are a huge improvement on the old wooden shingle. They resist compression, they do not rot, they can be manufactured to very high tolerances, and they are reusable in many applications. Those strict manufacturing tolerances enable Handi-Shims to be used by the most demanding contractors for shimming, plumbing, spacing, and measuring in carpentry, tile work, masonry, and virtually every other building trade. They are scored so that they can be conveniently cut into smaller pieces for tighter spaces. They can even be easily secured to a surface using a pre-drilled screw hole without the time-consuming on-site drilling or the annoying splintering of the old wooden shim. They are packaged in single-size or assorted-size packages in quantities of 40, 100, and 1,000. You pick the package that's right for you. They have been independently tested and have proven themselves to be that classic better mousetrap.
