FAQs
Why are Broadfix double snap plastic shims easier to use than traditional wood shims?
Because they have unique snap off scores at incremental points along the length to allow the shim to be snapped off quickly in either direction without any knife cutting required.
Broadfix TIP: Save money and use the snapped-off portion for another shimming job!
