Inserts are well made and easy to use. I had one insert which appeared to have been stepped on as the threads on one side were crushed, but otherwise I am very happy with this product

These inserts, along with decorative brass knurled knobs, were used create the adjusting knobs on this music stand. They work and look great.

Sorry about the fact that wished they were in steel which in fact, they are. These would have been a better choice for my projects than the softer brass. Live and learn to chose wisely.

I had to install about 20 of them on one project and 70% of them went in without a problem. The other 30% had the nubs ripped of but they were practically in all the way and sanding brought them to be flush. The screws worked perfectly in each and they did the job. I installed them with a cordless impact driver and I thought that was best tool to use.

I built a lectern for my wife's 7th grade classroom and used your slide glides to level the feet. They are adjusted up and down via the brass threaded inserts. The only problem I had was one insert went in crooked even though I used the arbor on my drill press to install them. This did not affect the performance, however, so no harm, no foul.

Insertion with a flat blade screwdriver is problematic. The brass top buckles or breaks off. Better to use the
torqued double nut on a bolt threaded through the insert.
I use them to locate an adjustable router fence base which accepts different fences. Got the job done! Will use in future, but install them with the torqued double nut method.

The finish is fair at best. Do yourself a favor and don't try to screw these in with a flathead screw driver. They strip out way too easy. Taking the advice of another woodworker, I torqued two nuts together toward the bottom of a quarter inch bolt and then used that to drive in the insert. It worked much better than the flathead screw driver. I give it a 3 simply because they should have never included the flathead feature since it's pretty much useless.
