What is a Tapered Shim?

The wedge was one of the first tools created by mankind and they are still just as handy today! A tapered shim is a triangular piece of material that slides into any gap, filling the space and preventing any further movement from the item. Wobble Wedge offers plastic tapered shims in a variety of sizes and with several distinguishing features that make them the ultimate household handy tool. Wobble Wedge tapered shims feature patented ridge technology that allows the wedges to interlock, never to slide apart when under the weight of an object. Wobble Wedges are also available in hard and soft plastic so you can pick the perfect fix for your project. Hard plastic Wobble Wedges are best used on soft flooring, while soft plastic Wobble Wedges are perfect for hard flooring or surfaces, decorative objects, and plumbing.
