10.500 Short Connector

The ease of installation is it's best attribute. Joined a countertop with very limited access behind the sink using a battery drill and the appropriate bit. Worked like a charm! Totally recommend!

These work great for joining butcherblock on a miter joint. I've done it twice now, and these provide a very secure, but also able to adjust to any expansion/contraction in the wood, joint.

The media could not be loaded. Counter top clamps worked great and pulled the seem together like a glove. Much easier than the standard type that you need two wrenches to tighten them up. I used my impact on low, even though it recommended me not to use the impact, and they held together just fine as you can see in the pictures. I did not do a video of the install as I forgot to do so when I was busy getting the kitchen put back together and was in a bit of a hurry. But the photos show how well they did. I would recommend especially in a tight place that would be hard to try using two wrenches to pull the counter top together with the old type.

I used these to attach 2 pieces of butcher block for a desk I was building. Just drill a hole, routered a channel in the bottom of the butcher block and tightened them up. Really holds the two pieces together very tight.

These fasteners are a game-changer for installing countertops and furniture. I used them to secure a butcher block countertop, and the process was quick and seamless. The single-handed tightening design makes it incredibly user-friendly. If you’re tackling a DIY countertop project, you’ll want these in your toolbox!

I bought these to "merge" 2 pieces of acacia butcher block together. I needed a 4' x 8' piece and to buy that vs. 2, 2' x 8' pieces was multiples of $$ so I got the idea of buying 2 pieces and butting them together.These bolts are essentially close clamps that allow you to force the pieces together and hold them together. I might have been able to take them out after the glue dried, but I don't want to risk a failure of the seam over $50 in bolts so I left them in place.Do yourself a favor and get the proper sized forstner bit for the round cavities and use a router to mill out the channel. The bolts come with a template of sorts (not really size for size though).The only con about these is that the ratcheting mechanism didn't seem super strong. That mechanism allows you to open/close the bolt by using a standard screwdriver and "converts" your torsional movement to torsion in a perpendicular direction, but it doesn't feel very strong. I didn't have an issue, but as I was tightening it I couldn't help but think it would strip. I don't know if these include a torque spec.

I got a pack of 5 and 4 of them worked pretty well to pull my counter top together tightly. Make sure you route out a good profile! I got one in the pack that would not tighten down, it felt like the mechanism inside was defective.It would also be nice if it came in an even 6 pack since they recommend 3 for each miter/joint.

These devices are a great way to pull counter top together.
