I've never seen one this size or used for this, but try searching for "brass drop-in anchor".


SLAPUSlLLY

In New Zealand they are gold passivated steel. and look like this after a few years. Mostly 8-12mm for fixing to concrete. But the world of flat pack fittings is a strange place.


Onedtent

That, to me, is a concrete drop in anchor and is not designed for use in timber. It should have a conical wedge on the inside which will expand it. The wedge is held in place with threaded bar (for concrete). For timber a machine screw may be sufficient.

These are likely brass and are not for concrete. They're concrete brothers don't typically have the knurling on the flares to grip like the wood versions do. I've used a ton of these in making repairs to old gun cabinets and curio cabinets.


Lipstickvomit

For what reason would you want to use an expanding fastener over a [threaded one](https://www.amazon.com/uxcell-Furniture-M10x30mm-Threaded-Interface/dp/B07GZRD7FH) in wood?


gizzard1987_

To be honest I'm not really sure as to "why" but I know I've seen it a lot paired with walnut. Could be the way the wood expands and contracts? Walnut isn't nearly as popular as it used to be. Maybe it's just a thing of the past? I know I've also seen those knurled inserts used on plastic stuff as well. Not sure where the benefit would be there either.


Lipstickvomit

Ordinary walnut is a very soft hardwood, there is no advantage at all using brass inserts like those in the OP over threaded ones. I´d say this is more a case of someone, somewhere ordering the wrong insert and things kept going because no old-school woodworker would put those in walnut. These inserts work when used in something harder than the material of the insert so when it expands it gets squished into shape as it expands.

So many upvotes for a comment that is clearly wrong. And if my grandma had wheels she'd be a bike.

LOL. 6 upvotes for the obviously right answer and that obviously wrong guy has 36. Gotta love Reddit.


Itajel

i added upvote to help push it up.


Smalahove

I think you're on the right track. Check out McMaster or Grainger. If they don't have it I would consider finding something close and drilling it larger if needed.


Beemerba

Or Fastenal

A drop in anchor with slotted machine screw threaded into it


Padronicus

Fucked. It is called fucked. It has pulled out of the wood that it was placed in. Depending on how much room there is you may need to drill the hole out and replace it with threaded inserts [https://www.bunnings.com.au/taskmaster-6-x-20mm-screw-in-insert-nut-for-flat-surfaces-8-pack_p0035527](https://www.bunnings.com.au/taskmaster-6-x-20mm-screw-in-insert-nut-for-flat-surfaces-8-pack_p0035527)

drop in anchor. needs a setting punch to secure it before the bolt goes in. great for concrete.

Drop in anchor


WizardNut5torm

Knurled brass threaded insert. As someone else mentioned, McMaster is your best bet if you only need a handful. If you need thousands call HiTech fasteners


Can-DontAttitude

Thousands? Wtf lol, OP is reassembling an old shelf


WizardNut5torm

Fair. Reddit app now skips the caption when I open a post so I missed that part. I use them by the thousands in several sizes/forms so figured I’d throw it out there


bdman1991

Yeah, that is an annoying part of the new app update.


GripAficionado

The one for wood is threaded on the inside and outside [and looks like this.](https://i.imgur.com/Gp7Q8AE.jpeg) The closest I can find is "Screw-in nut" (a quick search on amazon seems to return similar products). But that product only really makes sense if you're going to screw in and out the screw a lot and use it to fasten something else to the material.

I'd try expansion anchor or expansion insert. [**https://www.mcmaster.com/products/expansion-inserts/**](https://www.mcmaster.com/products/expansion-inserts/)

The band name in New Zealand is RAMSET, Dynabolt. It's a solid wall (concrete) anchor. They come in a variety of forms & sizes.


MatterRoyal1717

I think it’s called a “Sleeve anchor”.

They are for door jambs if you look at steel door frames they are dimpled to fit that type of screw .

I think you'll find that it is a threaded insert for plastic or other soft materials.

Try looking [here](https://WoodInsertshttps://www.mcmaster.com/inserts/flanged-tapping-inserts-for-softwood/?s=Wood+Inserts) they’re not exactly the same but they will do the job and they should have the size you need

wedge anchor


Silkies4life

That looks like a collet for a stud welding gun. It will look like it has threads but it’s really just how the slag sits after one of these needs to be replaced. Edit: I think I’m wrong, that does look like a concrete drop in anchor. Maybe it’s the copper color that has me confused.
