Work Well

Would Recommend

Good T-nuts. These work really well. I like that Lowe's carries them in different lengths, so you can pick a length that matches the wood.

Good Tee Nuts

Would Recommend

These work really well. I like that Lowe's carries them in different lengths. I do wish they had them in stainless steel, but the zinc ones are fine.

Product yes, availability no

Would Recommend

I needed 16 of these T nusts for my project. I think I could only find 10 at Lowe's so had to drive across town to another store to get the amount I needed. I have found this problem many times with some specialty items at Lowe's. This is the one "black mark" I have for Lowe's.

Works well!

Would Recommend

Used in a wooden knob - attached to a 10-24 screw. Countersunk hole to compensate for backing plate depth and epoxied in for good measure. Works great.

Work on that Honey Do List - One Down!

Would Recommend

Worked great, just what I needed to fix the drawers that my wife changed. The glue would not hold the pulls, so I got tasked with fixing it. Had to make a custom screw, because the length I needed was not a standard size.

Weak, break and do not stay in

Would Not Recommend

Prior to opening these one of the prongs were already broke. They also do not stay in anything all. With zero force they will simple fall out the wood. Avoid using these for anything you care about.

Garbage

Would Not Recommend

I got these to use to mount speakers to a baffle wall. Inserted them with hand tools, and they mounted fine. When I spin the screw out of the inside, all the teeth shear off, and it just spins. Just spent two hours grinding heads off the screws next to a 300 dollar speaker. This is junk hardware made from the cheapest materials imaginable.
