Fantastic and easy to use

Love their ease of use. Since there are 4 sizes of each size, you will probably never need more. Just make sure the wood is leveled properly before you press it down. They leave a very noticeable mark that is easy to pierce.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Compatibility

Only 19 pieces in a set of 20 pieces. A .47 " 1/2 " insert shorted. .

This is strong steel. But no fractional sizes. A 1/2" socket was shorted. It actually measures 12mm instead of .50". I can't use them unless they send me metric dowels.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • New competitors have appeared

It's good when the sizes match

So I ordered a pack of 20 and apparently the person who placed the order couldn't tell the correct sizes either because instead of 3/8 got about 10 mm. It's just big enough that you either have to drill a hole or spend a lot of time trying to get it out. The seller has communicated with me and it appears these are metric sizes which are "close enough" to imperial equivalents.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Functionality

Not as advertised Good for fasteners

These are metric center taper plugs although it is clearly stated that they will fit standard sizes. For a triple check, I measured with calipers, drilled holes for 3/8" dowels, and attempted to install them. They didn't fit. Went to hardware store. Bought some and they fit perfectly and measured correctly.

Pros
  • Pleasing
Cons
  • Legacy

Wrong dimensions given

This is metric but advertised as imperial. It's tight, but you'll never be able to move the dowels. If you drill a 3/8 inch diameter hole, the anchor will not fit. To use this you will need metric drill bits and anchors which are hard to find in the US. I'm sure they work fine for metric dowels, but that's not what they advertise.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Some minor things

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good if the dimensions fit

So I ordered a pack of 20 pieces and it looks as if the customer couldn't give me the right dimensions either, because I got about 10 mm instead of 3/8. hole or have a heck of a time to pull it out. The seller has communicated with me and it appears these are metric sizes which are "close enough" to imperial equivalents.

Pros
  • Easy assembly
Cons
  • There are even more interesting options.
