Did you ever had a plastic toy or tool that broke after few uses? It can be really frustrating! You may have attempted to fasten two components together with a screw but the plastic simply wasn't durable enough. That is where insert nuts come into play! A small piece of metal that you can place into the plastic is called an insert nut, and that will allow you to connect very strongly and tightly. You should be able to pick up the right one for your strongest needs.
Not all insert nuts are created equal. If you're working with a different kind of plastic, you'll actually want to use a different type of insert nut to get the best results. We have selected a range of insert nuts for Changen, which will supply good compatibility of insert nuts with various types using many different kinds of plastic. For instance, if you are working with a softer plastic, you will want an insert nut that has a broad thread. This distributes the pressure, and prevents the plastic from cracking. Rewrite: Alternatively, if you are using a hard plastic, you will require an insert nut that has a sharp point. The sharp tip has no problem slicing a hole in the plastic and since it goes in, it holds very strongly.
Insert nuts are an easy and convenient way to attach plastic parts together. You will then drill a hole in the plastic where you intend to insert the insert nut. Just the right size for the hole! Then you insert the insert nut into the hole you drilled. Then till it in tightly with a tool. This way the insert nut gets a strong grip which stays intact with time. This is one huge relief as you will not have to deal with plastic that can break easily under pressure and crack under tension.
Before insert nuts became a common thing, joining plastic pieces used to be a tedious and difficult task. You would have to find a screw that fit just right, make sure it wasn’t too loose or too tight, and pray that the plastic didn’t crack or break while you were working. This can be a time consuming and labor intensive task! Insert nuts can save time and enable you to get better work done. They teach you to get a tight grip at a few simple steps. This also means you can make your projects faster! And you won’t need to worry about needing to go back and fix anything if the plastic breaks or wears out.
The most common problem by using screws to connect plastic pieces is that they can become loose and/or worn out over time. This may cause the plastic pieces to separate or twist in the wrong direction and that's not great. Insert nuts will allow you to stop worrying about connections getting loose or worn out. The insert nut provides a solid and permanent grip that will outlast the plastic material!
