minus-squareCheradenine@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoWhat am I missing? Why would it mar the outside? These are usually quite soft metal, and generally used in particleboard. Itself quite soft. I have had the inserts spin and strip out holes many times, I’ve also stripped the internal threading many times.
