Wood insert nuts, any good recommendations?

[SeanT999]

I bought these: https://amzn.eu/d/6EH2kpH but they're terrible, rounded out the drive hex after 3 inserts. Not that I want to move them but wanted to trial them before drilling my hexaply.

I'm using them for fitting bike fork mounts and for fixing down 8020 type aluminium profile (30x30mm but supporting a bed in a campervan) so need to have some movement resilience.

I've seen The Insert Company online. They do zinc alloy, brass, stainless steel and zinc plated steel. Any ideas for best material or other suppliers?

Thanks very much
Sean

Yes more expensive but when you compare them they have a continous thread form that cuts into the wood which gives a better pull out resistance than those jungle ones.
