The tapered shape makes it easier to guide these inserts into a hole during installation. Use a drill bit to create a straight hole, then taper the top half.

With the male threaded end on these inserts, mount components directly to plastic parts.

A black-phosphate finish provides mild corrosion resistance.

The strongest key-locking inserts we offer, these inserts are made to stringent military specifications.

These inserts come with an installation tool. Drive the keys into the surrounding material for a more secure hold than thread-locking inserts.

Without a prong to break off and retrieve, these inserts are often used where debris could cause damage.

Assortments include various sizes of helical inserts and a tap, a drill bit, and an installation tool for each thread size.

Made of 18-8 stainless steel, these inserts have better corrosion resistance than black-phosphate steel.

Made from brass, these inserts are nonmagnetic, mildly corrosion resistant, and electrically conductive.

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

About twice as strong as aluminum rivet nuts, these low-profile rivet nuts have a cadmium or tin-zinc plating for corrosion resistance.

Weld these nuts to stainless steel surfaces.

Weld these nuts to flat and uneven uncoated 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 nuts have excellent corrosion resistance in most environments.

About half the strength of medium-strength steel coupling nuts, these metric nuts are for light duty fastening applications.

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

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.

Seal tube and hose fittings to keep their straight threads protected from contaminants during fabrication and storage.

Protect externally threaded components from contaminants during fabrication and storage.

Nickel-plated steel has some corrosion resistance.

A two-piece design requires less clearance than one-piece mounts and simplifies installation—raise your machine just enough to slide the base underneath, then insert the stud from above.
