Hey, WB, what do you call them things?

[Gawdzilla Sama]

I want to put a bolt into a piece of wood. I know I have to drill a hole and insert a sleeve with threads and spines to keep it from turning. But I don't know what to ask for. What-cha-call-ems?

rawl plug/wall plug?

rawl plug/wall plug?

Close, but what I'm thinking of has a wider "collar plate", with two bit bent down to penetrate the wood and anchor the do-hickey so it doesn't rotate.

Rawl plugs, or drywall anchors over here. don't have this flange thing.

Didn't see them.

One use for these things is to go in the end of a leg so an adjustable end can be screwed up or down to level a table.

ok, I thought it was a stud anchor (I couldn't remember what they are called either). No idea then. Don't you have a friendly independent hardware shop nearby where you can decribe what you want and they will dig it out of some recess or other known only to practitioners of the esoteric art of doodad arranging?



I love these places but they are getting rarer and rarer as the big chains force them out of business or the old guys who run them just retire.

I tried two of the jumbo stores, neither had them or knew what they were called. I had one last year, but I did something clever with it.

They're the "female" part for these: http://www.allproducts.com/tool/witman/ ... _feet.html

They're for the same purpose as "tube connectors", but those are for going into flat wood, not legs.

I'm looking for the crown-looking thing.

In Aus it's called a dynabolt. Ramset make them.

Not what I'm looking for, unfortunately. I need the same thing for a wooden table leg.

Don't they normally come with the castors?

Not that I've seen. These things are mostly installed at factories and the casters are sold as replacement parts. I want to use one to repair a broken table where the original legs all screwed together.
