E-Z LOK Drive Tool - Optional - Use with 329-5, 329-501, 329

used with battery operated drill and 5/16 inserts, made job fast and easy

Much better than breaking my inserts with a flathead screwdriver... I always wondered how in the wood magazine’s jigs, router tips and tricks how each jig had inserts installed in many places but meanwhile in the reality of my garage I could only install one and crack/split 4. Also in the magazines the inserts would be driven in vertical and straight when every single one I tried to install went in diagonal or twisting off axis and there for useless. Then I stumbled upon this insert driver WOW so there was a secret to installing these inserts and this is it...

Bought both this insertion tool and the other one sold by the same company. Targeted one use to insert the inserts and the other to back them out if needed. Both stripped away the edges where they fit into the drill or drill press (i.e., they are both rounded now), and the lock pins on the one sheared off after 3 uses.

you need to drill the correct size hole. Don't try to cheat and use the 1/2" drill bit you already have. You need a larger hole, especially in hardwood. Works great when used correctly. Keep it all the way inserted as you drive in the insert or you will break the teeth off.

The product is constructed well, however if you’re using this to install brass insert it can easily tear them up if you’re not careful.
