The wedge is one of the most ancient tools known to mankind. Tens of thousands of years ago, wedges were used with hammering tools to carve, break, chisel, and shape wood, stone, and bone into the building blocks of civilization. We certainly weren’t the first manufacturers to use the ancient wedge shape to create useful shims for furniture, construction, and plumbing. We were, however, the first shim manufacturers to incorporate our patented interlocking ridges! These ridges make it possible to safely and securely stack and combine Wobble Wedges to fill any gap and fix any wobble. Let’s take a deeper dive into how these ridges function as a fix-all!
Stack Wedges with Interlocking Ridges
Wooden construction shims have been used for centuries to shore up walls, windows, and floorboards. But some of the major cons of wooden shims are that they can shrink or swell when exposed to the elements and ultimately disintegrate or slide apart. Wobble Wedges solve this problem in two ways; first by being made of plastic so they won’t shrink, swell or rot, and secondly with their secure interlocking ridges to keep them from slipping apart. The interlocking ridges appear on both the top and the bottom of each Wobble Wedge so they can be combined in any order. Once under the weight of the object you’re stabilizing, they will not slip or slide apart.
Combine Wedges of Multiple Sizes
Wobble Wedges come in three useful sizes to help solve all varieties of wobbles and wiggles. The Standard Size Wobble Wedge is the most popular wedge for tables, furniture, and plumbing. The BigGap Wobble Wedge is on duty for shimming appliances, workbenches, large storage shelves, and other heavy or commercial-weight items. But don’t disregard the Mini Wobble Wedge, our smallest but still mighty shim, perfect for decorative items, antiques, and other micro-wobbles. The interlocking ridges are universally designed so you can combine any of the three wedge sizes to ensure you perfectly level your project.
Interlocking Ridges Exclusive to Wobble Wedge
There are plenty of alternative plastic shim products available, but none that possess the patented interlocking ridges of Wobble Wedges. We were the first shim manufacturer to file a patent on our interlocking ridge designs, permanently distinguishing our product in the marketplace. See for yourself just how handy these mighty little shims can be! Get started with a Shop Shim Variety pack to experiment with all three wedge sizes, stack to combine, and more.
