E-Z LOKKnife Threaded Insert for Soft Wood, Zinc Hex-Flanged Thread Inserts 3/8-16 Internal Threads, 13mm Length Pack of 25

I used these for two projects so far. I wanted to add castors to a workbench, to raise it and make it mobile at the same time. I took a couple of pieces of 2x4 cut to the width of the bench and inserted 16 of these, 4 per caster. I was then able to screw the 2x4s to the bench and then bolt the casters to the bottom of the bench. Very secure. The second application was securing a mailbox. I wanted blind fasteners but I didn't want to have to rely on wood screws. I cut a piece of 1/2" plywood to fill the gap under the mailbox I chose and drilled it to match the mounting points and added inserts. I screwed the plywood onto my mailbox post and could then bolt on the mailbox. it is so much easier to use the bolts than to try to start screws while reaching to the back of the mailbox. And the mailbox is much more secure. The flanged bolts I used won't pull through.

I used these to attach a railing to a ships ladder I built to access a loft space. Worked very well and very secure.

They worked out great for my project! I think they a priced good compared to others.

I use these in trailer floors to mount chocks and they grip well. The are very sensitive to the pilot hole size. If you put to much force on them they may crack. If hole is to big you need to epoxy

Used it in walnut and it still worked great. May not be the best idea to use it on hardwoods in the direction of the grain but it worked for me against the grain.

Inserts arrived well packaged in a bubble package. Inserts were in a heavy sealed bag inside the mailer. Inserts look to be die cast and the finish is excellent. Price was excellent for the high quality. Delivery was quick and no trip to the store...saves time and gas money. I recommend buying in bulk from this supplier.I used them to mount some 8" casters to a dolly I had made for moving some furniture. I drilled 1/2 in diameter holes in the wood frame about 1 inch deep. Drill slightly deeper than the length of the insert. I screwed them in using a metric hex head Allen wrench, it fits perfectly. Casters are holding tight using some grade 8 3/6-16 bolts I bought from Amazon too.

I used these, on a normal pine table that I made, and they worked well to hold strong. I tighten the bolts heavily without any failures.
