Q:How long this insert ? I need to put into the 3/4 plywood underlayment , granite on other side.
So many reviews mention breaking with a screw driver...that's not what the slot is for! And that’s why so many of you are breaking your insert. There's a tool you can use, or simply use a bolt with a nut to drive in the insert. I prefer the slots down so the finished end looks better.

Really easy to break
The design is flawed. When you tried to screw it into the wood. It can break. Then you have a hard time to get it out.

No instructions but works well.
I broke the first one when I tried to use the notches as a screwdriver slot. I wound up using a quarter inch screw to drive the inserts into a 5/16 inch hole.

Well... I bought 4 and broke 2 with a screwdriver after pre-drilling and threading the hole in 3/4" plywood. I threaded the hole. Getting it to start straight, even pre-threaded, was entertaining. I think it needs a bare extrusion at the starting point. Brass is too brittle.

unuseable, but pretty
Thin and soft/brittle brass. Could not insert in wood, broke off slot. Threads were not smooth and needed to be tapped to clean.

These inserts are brittle. I snapped of the ear on the first one I used.

This ended up being the exact piece I needed to secure the legs to a coffee table, however the cut-out slot on one end put a burr on the inside thread, that nearly ruined the thread on the bolt. I ended up ruining one of these nuts getting it off the bolt. Examine it carefully and if there is a burr, dremel it out before forcing the bolt through it.

Worked as intended, make sure to install using a bolt and not a flat head screwdriver. They will snap with a screwdriver.
