FILENAMES: thrdsrt1.jpg thrdsrt2.JPG DESCRIPTION: These are pictures of threaded insert installation tools. Posted by Ted Edwards . Ted provided the following description: ================================================================= See pictures: THRDSRT1.JPG ans THRDSRT2.JPG Here is an example of a high quality tool for installing threaded inserts and an example of a properly set insert. If you don't have and don't wish to buy the fancy tool, I have set them by threading a grade 8 nut onto a grade 8 bolt then a washer then the insert. Insert the assembly into a drilled hole of proper size, hold the bolt with one wrench (Allan heads are nice here) and tighten the nut with another wrench until the insert is properly installed. Ted
