Excellent product when used correctly

Excellent product. I've used them in several woods, the hardest was probably oak. I am convinced that the negative reviews are due to user inexperience and mistakes. I've only ever broken one and I did it by not drilling to the correct depth and trying to force the wood to give rather than removing the insert and re-drilling. I use an 11/32" drill press and set it up with a hand-turned drill. I never break, loosen, or "chew" the wood with this method.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Not weak at all - Uninstalled fasteners

I don't know what problems some people have. Drill a 9mm diameter pilot hole and install in the wood using a 6mm allen key or screwdriver NOT INCLUDED. (I'd rather pay a few bucks more and have it boxed up and then after realizing the second photo is just a link.) It literally is. Use the high speed, low torque setting on the drill and increase the torque if it slips too quickly. Learn how to use a drilling/drilling machine. You MUST drill a pilot hole.

  • All right!

Don't try to attach these stakes too close to the knot.

These threaded inserts worked quite well except when I tried to put them too close to the knot. The metal in the area of the hex screwdrivers is too thin and they will splinter and won't pull out if you don't have the right size. The one that was too close to the knot had to be left and moved, which I didn't like. They also don't necessarily go directly into the borehole. I've had several that actually shifted to one side or the other, which then didn't line up with the other part that the bolt

Pros
  • Nice package
Cons
  • Tape
