To solve assembling problem; drill the hole out CAREFULLY and STRAIGHT with a 1/8" drill bit. The screw will start and still hold the insulator on securely
Do not recommend as they are difficult to assemble. Holes don’t all line up and screws strip easily. We have purchased these for years and they used to come already assembled, but apparently not any more. Disappointed.

The holes were a problem as they were not straight also why not send cutter pins for all holes? Haven't put on chain link yet this is a process as I'm older female but I'm taking it one step at a time at least they are now together
Have had this product installed so long about 3 in 50 have rusted along with the chain link fence over 14 yea. I recommend this for chain link. Going to purchase more of them. I just want to keep the coyotes out, not give them loc jaw with the 3 rusty ones.
I disagree with previous critical comment, like most chores, best practices improve results. The cotter pins have to be bent after the arms have been compressed as much as possible, to squeeze the chain link as much as possible, and then, obviously the cotter pin should be located to provide as much leverage as possible; then, pull the cotter pin toward you with a pair of pliers, and only then bend one arm of the pin, or both if you want to squeeze even tighter. I will eventually put a second cotter pin in the second set of holes. The insulator screw attachment goes in straight if you're careful. I'm round post/square post adapter on the posts, and one of these chain link attachments in the middle of each section of fence, about every ten feet.
Not the best product on the market as the holes for the screws are not punched right and the screw go in crooked. Instructions on bag show the cotter pin on the front side of the legs but they will pop off the fence very easily this way so I put the pin on the back side These were a lot cheaper at Tractor Supply than on their own website WHY?
If you have no other choice, this product will suffice, but the brackets with black insulators will last longer. The product works well on chain-link fencing, especially 9 gauge HDuty, but not so mechanically secure on flimsy 11 1/2 gauge chain-link fencing if you are running 12.5 gauge aluminum electric fence wire; should be mechanically okay with thin 14 to 17gauge wire on 11 1/2 gauge chain-link fence, and definitely okay on 9 gauge fence.
