This kit includes all the connectors and connector screws you need to build a strong, sturdy workbench. All you need to buy is the lumber of your choice and a handful of wood screws. In the kit, you’ll get 8 Rigid Tie RTC2Z connectors and a box of 100 Simpson Strong-Tie 1 1/4-inch wafer head screws. I really love these screws because they’re so easy to work with and you don’t have to pre-drill, so it saves time and effort.

I can’t wait to purchase the connectors. I’m getting ready to set up my workspace. This table will work out fine. Next a table with an outfeed table for my table saw. Got one of those. Thank you Sandra. [email protected]
