So I have here my 3/8" spade bit. That's what the manufacturer recommends for the size hole for a #10-32 insert.
I'm going to drill that in now.
I have a dot there and I'm going to drill a hole.
I'm gonna put my driver here. You can see my driver here. I'm gonna put that in my battery drill.
I have the insert. There's a topside to the insert; that's the bottom. It's flush.
In here it has those two indentations, two grooves, so you can use the tool to insert this.
So I'm going to lay it on there so it gets in there properly.
I'm going to find the right spot so this sits in there.
I'm gonna line it up so it stays straight and let's start driving it in.
Now I'm just gonna bring it right to where it needs to be.
It's important that you hold this straight because if you don't, it's gonna start chipping away at the grooves because brass is a soft metal.
I just have a piece of aluminum here with a hole in it. If I wanted to attach that...I have a #10/32 screw here.
Yeah, this is a long screw and it might be too long, but I don't know. Let's see.
I'm just going to tighten it up to show you that you can tighten down on that. Very strong. Amazing insert.
So there's two ways you can put this insert in: you can do it with the manufacturer's driving tool,
which goes right into a drill, or if you don't have the driving tool, you could just use your fastener.
Or a hex cap screw. Install the hex cap screw all the way into the insert.
Take the insert and get it started. Grab your ratchet and drive it in.
Okay, we're almost there, not there 100 percent yet. Okay, that's pretty good.
I've driven in the insert with a hex cap screw. We're going to now back this off.
Take the screw out. You can see there that the insert is in place.
Now a lot of people say to me "well you got the insert in backwards."
The fact is, it's not in backwards. It's in there correctly.
Each manufacturer and manufactures these different. This is an EZ Lok product.
This is their system for installing with their tool.
But you don't need the tool to install one of these, as I just showed you.
Thanks for watching.
