Customer Reviews for Simpson Strong-Tie RTC 18-Gauge ZMAX Galvanized Rigid Tie Corner for 2x Nominal Joist, 2x4 Nominal Post

Easy to use for strong shelving. I used 2x2's vertical and 2x3's horizontal and works great. 2x4 probably overkill for most applications.

Needed to make a shelf to store my kids outdoor toys. Worked out awesome for my storage project. Very strong and sturdy product.

I used these to build quick work benches and miter saw tables. Very strong and made the job easy.

Piece mealed this bench together from the plans i downloaded on simpsons website. My home depot didnt have the kit in stock. About 140 bucks in materials. Very sturdy!

Perfect fit. Thank You.

Nice brackets, though expensive. You can buy them in workbench kit of 8 with screws included, and that is what I recommend over buying them singly. It is cheaper that way. I used mine to build an aquarium stand (see picture). These are galvanized, so if you paint them you can't use most spray paint without a special primer. I used acrylic latex paint, which is supposed to work with galvinized metal. It took about 3-4 coats.

I needed shelving in my garage and this is strong and also looks clean. We used 36 and it looks great!

Too easy to make sturdy shelving with these.

I used them to make shelving. It is cheaper to buy a work bench kit than individually. But we'll worth it.

Advertised as galvanized as they USED to be. Smaller and only steel with to galvanization.

There's a 3 step process for best results for tables/workbench legs, etc. 1. Attach the StrongTie securely to the post. 2. Attach the 2x?? joists to the StongTie 3. Tighten the two screws at the inside apex of the joists last and they'll be pulled firmly into the post making a solid and square connection.

Excellent product. All the holes are off-set from the others so you don’t have to worry about hitting an opposing screw or nail.

This is the first time I have used this product. It is well done easy to use added enormous stability to the backyard project that I use four of them on. Litt and strength..le pricey for my project, but well worth the money for

Works well easy to use and strong

Perfect for building my potting bench. Squared up nicely with these.

Well it was what I was looking for a home project.

Real easy to use clamped them down and used Simpson strong tie nails to fasten. Set a platform on top of 4x4 posts

Made simple of making a couple of very strong shelves in a garage using 2x4x10's and 4x8 sheets.
