Review on πŸ”© SNUG Fasteners (SNG903) Pack of 8 Stainless Steel Knife Threaded Inserts for Wood, 1/4"-20, 0.500" Length - Improved SEO by Matt Nichols

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent thread inserts for outdoor use but note the color is silver not brass

These excellent thread inserts can be used in both softwood and hardwood. The threads are very sharp and after drilling a 25/64" diameter hole (or 13/32" in hardwood) it's easy to insert with a standard screwdriver. They are made from high quality stainless steel and can be used outdoors with better results than the brass or galvanized steel inserts I usually use. Note that they are .45" in diameter, which is larger than the .375" in diameter of the similar 1/4-10" threaded inserts. Therefore, it is recommended to use a 13/32 inch hole in hardwood. Some Hard Rocks may require a 7/16" bit, but this is not recommended unless you are very careful not to wobble the bit.
