Palnut® On-Sert Fasteners

These distinctive fasteners with a single helical thread slip over hollow plastic bosses and prevent splitting when screws are driven. They also prevent cross-threading and resist screw pull-out. Yet screws may be removed without harming the fasteners or the boss. On-sert fasteners thus perform the same function as solid inserts but cost only about one-fifth as much. One type is used when screws enter the top of a boss while another type is used when screws enter the bottom of the boss.
