What Customers Are Saying
The product features a mixed quality, with some users reporting the inserts can work well if installed correctly, but the installation process requires specific techniques. Careful selection of the pilot hole size and drilling technique is important, as using an incorrect hole size or improper tools can easily damage or break the inserts. Overall, the quality of the inserts is variable, with some customers finding them brittle and prone to breakage, especially in harder woods.

Would Not RecommendDon't waste your money on these. I broke two of them off using a flat head screwdriver. I drilled 21/64" hole. Google search said to use 5/16" hole. There wasn't much left of them, or I would have returned them to Lowes because I paid about $2.00 apiece. Now I am going to try the hex head inserts. :( It would be nice if Hillman would provide hole size they're designed for, but then they wouldn't sell as many.
Fits the Bill

Make the per-drill hole a bit larger…
Would Not RecommendUpon screwing into the per-drilled hole with a flat head. The top head where the flat head fits broke off with very little torque.
