What is included in the Handy Pack?
The pack contains 134 pieces in total, featuring 11 different thickness options from 1mm to 10mm. Like the larger trade sets, these are supplied in two lengths—55mm and 100mm—to suit various spacing and leveling needs.
How does this differ from the Trade Pack?
The Handy Pack is a more compact version designed for renovations, DIY projects, or smaller trade jobs. It comes in a 5L bucket rather than the 10L version, making it even easier to store in tight spaces or transport to quick call-out jobs.
Are these shims strong enough for structural work?
Yes. Despite the smaller pack size, these shims maintain a certified 25kN compressive strength. They are designed to support heavy loads without crushing or shifting over time.
Can they be used in wet or outdoor areas?
Absolutely. The composite material is water, corrosion, and rot-resistant. This makes them superior to timber packers, as they will not degrade when exposed to moisture or ground contact.
Will the shims mark my floors or cabinets?
No. They are made from a non-staining material, so you can use them in visible areas—such as under a vanity or against a finished wall—without worrying about discoloration.
What is the range of thicknesses?
The bucket includes a full selection of shims from 1mm up to 10mm. This allows for extremely fine adjustments by either using a single shim or stacking multiple sizes together to reach your required height.
What are the bucket dimensions?
The 5L bucket measures approximately 200mm (W) x 200mm (H) x 200mm (L). Its compact footprint is ideal for keeping in a utility drawer, a small tool chest, or the back of a van.
