Review on πŸ”© 15pcs 1/425 Zinc Alloy Threaded Insert Nuts with Hex-Flanged Washer for Wood Furniture: Hex Drive Head Screw-in Type Embedded Screw Plug Set by ZRM&E by Timothy Castillo

Revainrating 2 out of 5

It's hard to start. soft metal

The first pairs I used were very difficult to screw into the piece of wood. Being softwood it was also difficult to get them to start straight. After struggling with the first pair, I used a 1/2" tap to slightly widen the beginning of the 3-8" hole and the starting problem was solved. Care must be taken to keep the allen wrench straight and pressed into its socket as these sockets are quite soft and easily removed with a wrench.

Pros
  • Hex Head: can be screwed in with a hex wrench and the flanged head prevents splitting surfaces and over-threading the insert.
Cons
  • Other Other
