Made of 18-8 stainless steel, these inserts have good corrosion resistance.

These inserts are made to stringent military specifications.

Forming the strongest hold of any of our threaded inserts, these inserts have a distorted internal thread to lock screws into place and keys that drive into surrounding material to prevent slipping and rotating.

A dry film keeps the screw from sticking or binding in these inserts during installation.

These inserts have a high strength-to-weight ratio and resist acids and salt water better than nickel alloy and stainless steel inserts.

A distorted thread grips the screw to resist loosening.

Made of Nitronic 60 stainless steel, these inserts prevent the screw from binding or sticking without any coating or lubricant that could contaminate particle-free environments.

A dry film keeps the screw from sticking or binding in these inserts during installation.

Inserts come with a through-hole tap and installation tool.

A black-phosphate finish provides mild corrosion resistance.

These inserts are the most corrosion-resistant thread-locking inserts we offer.

A closed-end tap, drill bit, and installation bit are included with these inserts.

The flange keeps these inserts from being pulled through a hole and provides a load bearing surface.

Assortments include various sizes of tapping inserts for softwood.

Steel inserts have high strength for durability.

Steel inserts have high strength for durability.

The most corrosion resistant tee nut inserts we offer, these inserts stand up to chemicals and salt water.

Ridges on the barrel of these inserts make them less likely to split hardwood than inserts with prongs. They're often used in wood that has been cut across the growth rings.

Hooked prongs give these inserts excellent holding power even when removing screws.

An open end allows long screws and bolts to pass through the insert.

Mount these inserts flush or below the material's surface.

Press these inserts into a drilled hole and the flexible metal teeth anchor them in the material. Use them with carbon fiber, fiberglass, and garolite.

Also known as clinch style captive nuts, press these nuts into a drilled or punched hole with an arbor press or similar pressure tool.

A flat hex head sits flush against the material surface for use in low-clearance applications.

These press-fit nuts have a zinc plating for corrosion resistance in wet environments.

About twice as strong as aluminum rivet nuts, these steel rivet nuts are zinc plated for mild corrosion resistance.

These aluminum rivet nuts are one-third the weight of steel rivet nuts and have mild corrosion resistance.

Wedges under the flange lock the nut in place in soft materials such as brass and aluminum.

These kits include one size of low-profile rivet nuts.

These low-profile rivet nuts are one-third the weight of steel and have mild corrosion resistance.

The coated flange seals out moisture and prevents corrosion.

About twice as strong as aluminum rivet nuts, these rivet nuts are zinc plated for mild corrosion resistance.

Once installed these rivet nuts have a large back flange that distributes the load across a broad area for a strong hold in plastic and composites.

The thread area is enclosed, which prevents leakage past the threads from either side of your application.

A smooth base provides more contact with the mating surface than weld nuts with projections.

Projections on the base concentrate the weld and provide room for heat to dissipate.

A smooth base provides more contact with the mating surface than weld nuts with projections.

Weld these nuts to stainless steel surfaces.

Weld these nuts to uncoated steel surfaces.

You can weld these nuts to flat and uneven uncoated stainless steel surfaces for a strong permanent hold.

Threads float inside the retainer so you can install a bolt at a slight angle to align with off center parts.

Stainless steel adhesive-mount nuts have excellent corrosion resistance in most environments.

Stainless steel nuts have excellent corrosion resistance in most environments.

Snap these nuts into square holes in thin materials.

A zinc plating provides corrosion resistance in wet environments.

More corrosion resistant than 18-8 stainless steel anchors, these 316 stainless steel anchors have excellent resistance to chemicals and salt water.

A zinc plating provides corrosion resistance in wet environments.

Install like a stud anchor—just thread the anchor, a nut, and a washer onto the end of a threaded rod, drive into a hole, and turn the nut to expand the base. Also known as rod anchors, they're often used with threaded rod to hang pipe and wiring.

Drive these tools with a hammer to expand anchors.

An adjustable stop allows you to set anchors at consistent depths. Use with a hammer.

Also known as double expansion anchors, these expand from both sides for full contact and a secure hold.

18-8 stainless steel studs have good chemical resistance.

Screw these studs into a tapped hole and use them as a pivot point, hinge, shaft, or locator pin.

These studs are also known as hanger bolts—use them to hang, mount, and fasten parts to wood structures.

316 stainless steel studs have excellent resistance to chemicals and salt water.

A hollow center allows these studs to be used as an axle, a vent, or a passageway for wiring.

Weld these studs to uncoated steel surfaces.

Create a strong joint in a blind hole.

Install in a cutout to create a secure joint between boards, butcher blocks, and countertops.

These include a barrel and a screw.

These include a barrel and a screw with an extra-wide (truss) head. Made from 316 stainless steel, they have excellent chemical resistance and can be used in saltwater environments.

A tamper-resistant Torx driver is required for installation and removal.

More corrosion resistant than 18-8 stainless steel binding barrels and screws, these have excellent resistance to chemicals and salt water.

Use these rivet nuts for light duty fastening in low-clearance applications. Assortments include rivet nuts, mandrels, and an installation tool.

Place the tip of these tools into an insert and strike them with a hammer to drive the keys into the material. They’re compatible with Keensert® inserts.

Use these installation bits with power drills and drill presses as an alternative to a screwdriver for fast installation.

Place the tip of these tools into installed inserts and push down to trigger the spring-loaded punch to break off the prong.

Screw an insert onto these tools and drive them a quarter to half-turn below the material’s surface.

These installation bits can be used with power drills and drill presses as an alternative to a hex driver for fast installation.

Strike these tools with a hammer or mallet to press threaded inserts into composites.
