Wood Line Post Insulators
For attaching low-tension conductors to wood line posts. Premier alternative to the common ring insulator. Wider, deeper threads stay in wood posts better.
For easy installation, use a Wood Post Line Power Driver.

Very easy to use, but I've had the same problem with the plastic part spinning as Linda from Ohio.

Work Ok but not as sturdy as I had hoped. Make sure you drill a pilot hole that is the same diameter as the threaded portion. Don't try to get a tight fit with these. If you drill a pilot hole small enough to ensure a tight fit, the plastic part begins to turn on the metal portion when the metal pin gets tight. It also spins/slips when you try to remove it and redrill a larger pilot hole which means you have to destroy the plastic part to get it out and start over.
