00:00Stripped threads in plastic are the worst, right? You tighten one screw too hard and the hole just
00:05spins forever. Well, I went digging and found the best deals on M2, M3, M4 heat set inserts that
00:12fixed this for pennies, and honestly some of these prices made me double check. Let me show
00:17you what I found. First up is the full starter kit, and this is the one I'd grab if you're
00:22new
00:23to inserts. It covers M1.4 all the way up to M6, and the clever part is it throws in
00:29matching
00:29stainless steel screws, so you're not hunting around for hardware that actually fits. It's $8.91,
00:36it's got 4.9 stars from over 4,000 buyers, and honestly, having the screws included just saves
00:42you a second order. That's why it's my top pick. Next is the Bolt King. This one ships you 1
00:49,400
00:49inserts in M2 through M8, which is frankly more brass than most of us will use in years. It's $8
00:56.23,
00:57rated 4.8, and it's clearly aimed at 3D printer folks who are constantly embedding threads into
01:02printed parts. If you prototype a lot or you're tired of running out mid-project,
01:07buying at this scale works out stupidly cheap per insert. Third is the sweet spot for variety.
01:14For $4.52 you get 50 pieces spanning M1 up to M8, which is the widest size range on this
01:20list,
01:21including those tiny M1 and M2 sizes that are a pain to source. It's sitting at a perfect 5-star
01:27rating with 4,000 sales, and the double neural body grips plastic really well. If you want one
01:33small box that handles everything, this is it. Now, if you just need a handful to test the waters,
01:39look at this. Number 4 starts at $0.89 for 5 pieces, and you can scale up to 50 in
01:45M2 through M8 as
01:46needed. It's another perfect 5-star listing with nearly 4,000 sold, so people are clearly happy.
01:53For under $1 you can fix that one stripped hole on your enclosure lid tonight and see if inserts are
01:58your thing. Last one keeps the sub-dollar streak alive. This starts at $1.02 for 10 pieces,
02:06with options all the way up to 100, and it goes down to M1.2, which is genuinely hard to
02:11find anywhere.
02:13Another flawless 5-star rating with over 3,500 buyers. If you work on small electronics where
02:19tiny screws rule, this listing basically exists for you. Great value, no catch.
02:26That's the whole lineup, links to everything are down in the description.
