In-Store Exclusive

This one's worth the trip to the store.

Brands like Weber, Milwaukee, Yeti, and DeWalt restrict where their products can be sold online — and for good reason. In-store buyers get authentic products, full manufacturer warranty, and access to pricing that simply isn't allowed to be advertised on the web.

  • Authorized dealer network · Full manufacturer warranty & support
  • Guaranteed authentic · No counterfeits, no gray-market resellers
  • The brands set these standards · Be wary of sellers who don't follow them

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

For serious wood framing projects where dependable restraint matters, the Simpson Strong-Tie 8 in. H x 0.13 in. W 12 Ga. Steel Strap delivers proven strength you can trust. Built from durable 12-gauge steel, it combines a tall profile with a slim width to create a robust, easy-to-handle connector for joist and framing joints.

  • Height: 8 in
  • Width: 0.13 in
  • Gauge: 12
  • Material: Steel
  • Joist fasteners: 10d
  • Brand: Simpson Strong-Tie
  • Product Type: Strap

The 8-inch height provides generous surface engagement along joists and framing members, promoting better load transfer and resistance to twisting under stress. The slim 0.13-inch width keeps installation straightforward in tight framing spaces, while the 12-gauge steel delivers a sturdy, long-lasting connection that stands up to the demands of residential and light commercial builds.

Use cases and ideal applications

  • Securing joist-to-joist or joist-to-header connections in wood framing
  • Reinforcing long-span framing where a slim, tall strap helps distribute loads
  • Retrofit projects that require a compact steel strap without bulk

Why choose this Simpson Strong-Tie strap

Renowned for reliability in structural connections, Simpson Strong-Tie delivers consistent performance with precision-made components. This strap blends trusted material quality with a practical size—large enough to provide solid reinforcement, yet narrow enough to fit into standard framing layouts.

Installation considerations

  • Pair with the specified 10d joist fasteners to ensure a secure, code-compliant connection
  • Align the strap to maximize load distribution across the joint
  • Consult local building codes for application specifics and any required hardware combinations

Upgrade your framing hardware with the Simpson Strong-Tie 8 in. H x 0.13 in. W 12 Ga. Steel Strap and enjoy a dependable, industry-standard solution designed to simplify assembly while delivering lasting structural support.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
