T-Nuts

Description

A T-nut, T nut, or tee nut is a type of nut used to fasten a wood, particle or composite materials workpiece, leaving a flush surface.
T-nuts are threaded steel inserts with prongs that insert claws into wood when they are tightened, and often work when wood screws fail. After a T-nut is installed, a common bolt is used to join corresponding parts together.

T-nuts and are more effective than wood screws. They are less likely to strip, or cause cracks or splits in any type of wood. Parts can be mass-produced with T-nuts, assembled and reassembled for shipping purposes, or packaged as a kit. T-nuts resist movement and vibration, and can be tightened at regular intervals.

Because they have prongs, t-nuts grip softer materials, such as particle board, better than wood screws, which tend to strip.

Now available in Stainless Steel also.
