EZ Lok 400-6 - 3/8-16 Insert For Hard Wood - Brass

Knife thread inserts are designed for use in hard woods, like oak, cherry, and maple. ideal for use wherever assembly or disassembly could lead to thread erosion or stripping, knife thread inserts use a proprietary external "knife" thread to slice into wood and provide superior holding power. typical applications for knife thread inserts include furniture, cabinetry, partitions, and shipping containers. to install the insert, simply drill a hole and thread the insert into place using a screwdriver, bolt/jam nut, or other drive tool. for particularly hard wood or if there is difficulty getting the insert to thread-in straight a drive tool can be made with full thread engagement for maximum control during installation.
