Brixwell Plastic Horseshoe Shim 1/16″ x 3-1/2″ Blue Pack of 100

Description

Product Overview

The Brixwell PHS1632-XCP100 horseshoe shim is engineered from solid styrene plastic, delivering a combination of strength and flexibility that is essential for precise alignment tasks. Each shim measures 1/16 inch in thickness and 3-1/2 inches in length, providing a low-profile yet sturdy component that can be inserted into tight gaps without compromising structural integrity. The bright blue color not only makes the shims easy to locate on a busy workbench, but also serves as a visual cue for proper orientation during installation. Packaged in a set of 100 units, this product offers ample quantity for large projects, repeat use, and inventory stocking for professional workshops. The dimensions—3.5 x 1.38 x 0.13 inches—fit comfortably into standard toolboxes, and the lightweight design (0.16 ounces per shim) ensures that handling large numbers does not add unnecessary weight. Designed for both horizontal and vertical applications, the shims can be employed in framing, cabinetry, metal fabrication, and a variety of other industrial and DIY contexts. The product is listed under the Industrial & Scientific category, specifically within the Shim Discs sub‑category, reflecting its suitability for precision engineering and construction environments.

Usage

These blue plastic horseshoe shims excel in scenarios where exact spacing and levelness are critical. In construction, they are commonly used to level door frames, window sills, and structural beams, allowing contractors to achieve a true plumb or level condition before final fastening. Woodworkers rely on the shims to fine‑tune joinery, ensuring that cabinets, tables, and other furniture pieces sit flush without gaps. Because the material is non‑metallic, the shims are safe for use around electrical components and do not conduct electricity, making them ideal for installations that involve wiring or sensitive electronics. The reusable nature of the styrene plastic means that after a job is completed, the shims can be cleaned, inspected, and stored for future projects, reducing waste and cost over time. Their durability also resists deformation under moderate loads, so they maintain their shape even after repeated compression cycles. Whether you are a seasoned contractor, a hobbyist carpenter, or a maintenance technician, the Brixwell horseshoe shim provides a versatile, low‑cost solution for achieving precise tolerances in a wide range of environments.

FAQ

Can these shims be used for metalworking applications?

Yes. Although the shims are made from plastic, their non‑conductive nature makes them safe for use around metal components, and the material’s strength is sufficient for most metalworking alignment tasks where high load bearing is not required.

Are the shims compatible with standard measuring tools?

Absolutely. The shims are sized to standard fractional measurements (1/16″ thickness) and can be measured with calipers, rulers, or any typical shop gauge to verify dimensions before installation.

How should I store the shims to maintain their shape?

Store the shims in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in the original resealable bag helps protect them from dust and deformation, ensuring they remain flat and ready for future use.

Do the shims come with any warranty?

Brixwell provides a limited one‑year warranty covering manufacturing defects. If a shim arrives damaged or does not meet the advertised specifications, contact our support team for a replacement.

Can I purchase larger quantities than the pack of 100?

Yes. Brixwell offers bulk packaging options, including packs of 200, 450, 500, 900, and 1000 shims. Contact the sales department for pricing and availability of larger orders.
