Zipbolt 10.800 Countertop Miter Connector — 5 Piece Joint Fastener Drawbolt Pack with 5mm Hex Bit for Joining Countertops, Butcher Blocks, Furniture, and More - Single-Handed Tightening

Easy to install and pull tight

I've used these on two different occasions to join slabs of butcher block. The ability to use a forstner bit to fit the ends of the drawbolts makes installing these very easy.

Easy to use and install, however I ended up buying a second longer set. There was no guidance as to the length to buy. The first set seemed a little short and I was afraid of the connections being too close to the edge. Couldn’t find anything online to give me input as to when and where to use tge different lengths.

Used it for butcher block counter top. I just freehanded the router and used Forstner bit for the end parts.Worked as described.

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.

Bolts function good, hex bit held up, I can see why you want to use a drill vs a impact driver. I will buy these bolts again.

A friend of mine had a 9 foot dining room table and moved to a smaller house. They wanted to keep the table and hired me to cut the table down. I was able to cut the table down and use these bolts to secure the two sides back together. Since they are tensioning bolts, I was able to put in dowels and use these two tension D 2/2 back together. They worked absolutely perfect and were super easy to install and use.

I ordered these for a customer project, L shaped desk I was working on, to make a nice tight joint, between the two sides. Sadly, and even though a tool bit to tighten them( made for impact driver) is included, they really can't take that much force. I ended up stripping out 3 of the 5, taht come in package.I had to order another set to use for finished project, and I'll remember to tighten them gently by hand.

Used these on the upper and lower countertop joints of a bar I was building. Worked perfectly... easy to access and tighten....

Très facile à installer et moins compliqué

Used to connect two pieces of kitchen countertop and it worked great

Used this on a desk project. They hold my pieces with enough strength to hide the seams on the other side. The provided bit works perfectly as well.Small recommendation is to make the channels a bit wider than you need to give you space for adjustments. Once everything is lined up, tightening the bolts is simple and quick.The only cons I have for zipbolts are the thickness. Most bolts are quite deep, which lebes very little material between the top, but otherwise this is all you'd expected. I will definitely use then again, and strongly recommend!

Comes with everything and works well. You need to go fairly deep to get them flush. So make sure your counter top is atleast a couple inches thick
