Split rings, shear plates, dog toothed washers - any one use these -they are the same
any body ever used these.
they are basically a washer that goes in between two pieces of wood that get bolted together to increase the resistance to shear forces
Figure @8-44.—Shear @plate @and @shear-plate @joints.

I am bolting some rafters to bottom cords and figured they are cheap and easy to throw in there and might just make it a bit stronger
