I am looking at buying new ICF bracing and am looking at the options, Has anyone tried Plumwall's bracing with the turnbuckle that can be adjusted by drill? does it work as well as it sounds, are the braces and strongbacks strong, are there any misgivings about the system.
Thanks

I have a set and I like them. The price was good and for me they are manufactured close to me. The reason I like them is the fact that you can adjust the wall from up on the scaffolding and watch the wall move in relation to your string line. I use an electric impact gun to make the adjustments the bolt heads are 11/8" so an impact gun works the best. You'll find slicker bracing out there but this works great. I've had mine for 6 years.

Out in the open, I work for Fab-form Industries. We have a Zont bracing system that uses 2x4's for bracing. Allows you to ship around alot less material from site to site. Take a look at this interesting project
