WBSK Workbench and Shelving Hardware Kit

Hi Poclovis, This is Ricardo with Simpson Strong-Tie. The WBSK workbench and shelving hardware kit provides the connectors and connector fasteners to build a workbench or shelving unit. The kit features the Simpson Strong-Tie® Rigid Tie® RTC2Z corner connector that makes it easier to make strong and durable corner connections with 2x4 lumber using no angle cuts or bolts. Each kit contains enough RTC2Z connectors to construct one workbench. Two kits are necessary to build a four-shelf unit. With the WBSK kit, a professional quality project can be customized and completed in a couple of hours. Lumber and fasteners for attaching plywood and pegboard purchased separately. I encourage you to take a look at our website for additional resources including videos to help you complete your project: https://www.strongtie.com/products/go/connectors/workbench-kit-resources. Please call our Customer Service team by calling 800-999-5099​ if you have additional questions.​

Hey HomeBeast, this is Ricardo with Simpson StrongTie. It should be fine to use the 19/32" plywood for this project. Hope it turns out well!

Contact Simpson, the manufacturer. (800) 999-5099 or strongtie.com/diy . I'm not an engineer, but each RTC2Z connector has 12 holes for screws. There would be 8 connectors for your aquarium stand for 96 screws. You can find data for the connector here: https://embed.widencdn.net/pdf/plus/ssttoolbox/bpm6gjqjni/C-C-CAN2020-p325.pdf

I THINK THEY WILL WORK I USE THEM ON WORK BENCH LOTS OF HEAVEN TOOLS LOTS HAMMERING & CUTTING HELD UP VERY WELL STILL AS STUDY AS THE DAY I BUILT IT HOPE WORKS AS WELL 4 U

The brackets go on both the inside AND outside for the workbench.

I'm not sure I'm clearly understanding the question. The brackets in the kit encompass the post and joist so will be visible on both the inside and outside. Please feel free to contact our Engineering Support Department if you have further questions - 800/999-5099. Thank you!

I bought these and have yet to use them but it is my belief that the only way to use these is on the outside. They are made to fit the way they are pictured,

Great Kit!!! I highly recommend!

I have never seen a 4x4 bench kit Pipersmith. I connected 2x4's to 4x4 legs using lag screws. Hope this helps.

I THOUGHT I SAW THEM

I see they are not offered online, but have you talked with your local Home Depot store about ordering? The alternative screws would be the 305 stainless steel screws DWP (S10200WP) or the bugle–head wood screws (S10200DB). The SS screws cost more than the carbon steel DSV, but these are the only alternatives we are able to refer to. Thank you!
