The OZCO Ironwood 8x8 Post Band appears to be sturdy and looks like it will stabilize the splitting in my pergola support beam. I even like the way it looks. However, the assembly has a design flaw which is as unnecessary as it is inconvenient. Once the band is in place and the bolts tightened snugly, the gap between the bolt head and the band reduces to the point that neither a socket nor closed box wrench will fit. The final tightening must be done with micro-turns of an open-end. This does not allow for maximum tightening, and the abrasion mars the otherwise attractive black finish. The bolt heads get scuffed as well.As others have noted, they are pricey; but I have not found anything that looks like it would work better.

I applied liquid nails to the split then used the clamp. It squeezed the liquid nails when tightened and closed the splits. Definately was an easier fix than replacing 16' 4x4's!

Had a pressure treated fence post that was splitting bad. Put this clamp on easily and so sturdy I am sure it will hold

I purchased two of these 6x6 bands just 2 weeks ago from Amazon. While I am not sure if they will prevent further "checking" (splitting) of the post, they do make nice accent pieces. I thought I would purchase two more for another post and found that Amazon had increased the price 50% in two weeks!!! Seriously Amazon? I paid $40 each two weeks ago and now they are $60? WTH? The manufacturers MSRP on their own website is still $40.49 - can you say price gouging Amazon? Not a good look for you guys. I was going to go without the additional two until I found them on HD website for $32.

Posts splitting made me a little uncomfortable but is apparently normal. I feel a little better with these on my deck posts. Easy to install.

These seem to be strong enough to prevent further checking of our support posts and are an attractive accent but the price is ridiculous.

I really like these because they add a great look and also add some support..In my opinion it would be nice if they were a little wider..The only thing I dislike was there is not enough room to get a socket on so you have to use a open end wrench to tighten the bolts ..This ends up scrapping off the paint and I am sure will start to rust before long.. Oh and another dislike is that they are pretty expensive..

These bands are hefty, well made and look good on the posts since they show up as a substantial iron band. Putting the first one on was a bit of trial because my 8" post had already split, but the rest of them, (once I got the routine of only taking two of the side screw off completely and spinning out the other two, but not all the way) were very easy so be patient. I had splits in other posts and they went on with ease. I have reordered for the remaining 8 posts too.

It looks pretty nice, very solid build, although a little bit pricy, but worth every penny to prevent further cracks on deck post.

Exactly what I needed. I used it for a post that has started to split, easy installation and it looks great
