Hex Drive Threaded Insert #10-24

This pack contains 50 hex drive threaded inserts sized for #10-24 internal threads. Each insert has a 7/16 inch diameter and overall length. The zinc alloy construction with a plain finish suits general fastening tasks in wood. Builders and repair technicians use them to create durable machine-threaded holes in softer materials.

Installation Requirements and Benefits

A 9/32 inch drill bit prepares the hole, while an M5 hex drive installs the flanged insert. The right-hand coarse threads engage securely in wood at least 1 inch thick. Maximum hole diameter is .281 inch. This hardware frees you from tapping threads directly in wood, which can strip under load, and provides a reusable metal thread for repeated assembly.

Material Performance in Use

Zinc alloy resists corrosion during normal indoor and outdoor exposure. The plain finish adds no lubricity, so driving torque feels consistent. Inserts do not generate heat or noise during installation or service. Power draw is not applicable for this passive fastening component. The flanged head distributes clamping force across the workpiece surface.
