E-Z LOK Hex Drive inserts for soft wood are an inexpensive insert for use in ready-to-assemble furniture, drawer pulls, or wherever the avoidance of thread stripping is desired. Ideal for use in materials such as pine, plywood, composition board, and MDF, Hex Drive inserts feature tapered external threads which resist pull out caused by vibration. These die-cast zinc inserts are available in a flush design for "below the surface" installation or in a flanged design for installation depth limiting applications.
