Product Overview

Threaded inserts for skis - For use with any of our flat head or low head screws.  The inserts require a drill bit depth of 9.5mm or 9mm minimum.  Binding Freedom inserts are not compatible with standard alpine mounting screws. 

Sold individually.

If you have any questions about installation, feel free to reach out or read over our insert installation instructions.

Before installation spray the inserts with a de-greaser and wipe clean.  Any grease or oil left on the inserts from the machining process could interfere with the epoxy.  Never use Loc-Tite with inserts, only use Vibra-Tite offered here.

    Excellent product & service

    Used the inserts and various screws (different bindings/set-ups) for years in many....tele configurations - have never had any issues with product quality. Website is very clear and if questions, just shoot a note and they reply promptly. Great company/service, enjoy doing business with them:)

    So far so good, except a couple came loose

    Posted by Dave L on 4th Mar 2023

    They are a little nervy to go in by hand, w/o the jig or a drill press, but OK if you're careful, read the directions, and prepare. Or have your ski shop do it :-) I put a set on a pair in late 2018, and just now unscrewed them, getting ready to move them to other skis, and 3 of the 16 inserts came out of the skis - unscrewed instead of the screws. Maybe I didn't degrease before expoying, although I think it was just that the Vibra-Tite had dried out and totally solidified. I removed the rest carefully by pressing down hard and giving a very slight tightening turn (maybe 1/32 of a turn) before loosening. The ones that came out of the skis were on the screws so tightly I had to grab them with a Vise Grip to get the screw out, ruining one of them, so keep spares on hand. I'll wire brush off the old Vibra and reapply fresh, my old tube is very dried out, very goopy. In fact, it was pretty goopy 5 years ago; looking at their site now, I see they have a larger bottle with a brush, and they show threads evenly coated, but the stuff I got in the 5 ml tube 5 years ago was already too thick to brush on, so it may have been an old tube. I think in future make sure to use fresh Vibra-Tite, not too much, and maybe periodically unscrew your bindings even if you're not moving them to another ski. My other gripe is that the drill bit that comes with it is kind of weird; it's kind of a stepped bit, so it's easily possible to overshoot when drilling by hand, I recommend a stop collar. It's designed for their jig I guess. The main advantage over the nearly identical Quiver Killers is the inserts have slots on top so you can screw them in & out.

    A must have!

    Wow. Absolutely fantastic mounting system aptly named for the freedom you get being able to swap/move bindings as you need. Even without needing to move bindings, knowing you can *if* it comes down to it is nice. These are also a rock-solid binding mount system, and I'd probably argue that they're better than stock mounting because of the additional threads you get holding everything in.

    PERFECT SYSTEM

    Major players in the ski industry should adopt this system so you can swap a pair of bindings between multiple skis. Definitely more bomber connection then tradition screws and works great!

    All of my skis have them

    These are great to have and easy to install yourself. I love being able to take my skis from resort to BC and back. Have a shop drill your holes for you if you are unsure of your abilities or lack a jig and pop these babies in. Easy to install with a wide flathead. I use a JBweld steel based 24hr epoxy.

    Awesome

    Posted by Tony on 12th Jan 2018

    Very satisfied with the products. Got the drill bit, tap and installation tool and will upgrade every telemark skis from now on. Got a few binding tear off freelin' but with the inserts I guess it's a thing of the past. Thanks!
