What Customers Are Saying

These threaded inserts can be useful if installed properly, but the soft material makes them prone to breakage if not handled carefully. Key tips for successful installation include using a cap screw with two nuts instead of a flat head screwdriver, locking the nuts against each other, and using the correct pilot hole size. Some users reported a lack of clear instructions, making the installation process more challenging. Overall, the quality seems inconsistent, with some users experiencing breakage even when following the recommended steps.

Breaks easily

Broke before it even made it into the wood. Needs a really wide bladed screwdriver to reach and not break. Package should indicate what size drill bit to use.

Wood Serts

Would Recommend

I needed more of these inserts than the store had in inventory. There was no option to buy a large quantity. I bought all of the little packages the store had which made the job expensive.

Brass is a VERY soft metal!

Would Not Recommend

Made my pilot holes too small (no size suggestion listed on product) and realized I should have bought the Allen wrench drive instead of the slotted screwdriver style after shearing off one side.

It works, but be careful…

Would Recommend

I know it’s made of brass, so it’s a softer metal, but these all broke off halfway into the hole. Also, it would be nice to know on the package what hole size is recommended. I had to trial-and-error it a number of times before I found the right hole size, and even then, the brass broke easily halfway driven into the hole. Maybe a better means of driving it instead of a slot screwdriver would be a good idea for the manufacturer.
