We've been working on the part you don't see.

The insert under your binding doesn't get much attention. Until you're installing it, dialing in the depth, or correcting a mount. That's where good design earns its place.

Meet the Quiver Killer hex-drive insert. An internal 3 mm hex drive. A low-profile tip. A clean top with no drive slot cut across it. This isn't a new name on the same hardware. It's a meaningful evolution of the part that makes your setup possible.

The big change is inside

We've built a 3 mm hex-drive interface into the bottom of the insert. Engage it with a hex driver to install the insert, adjust its depth, or back it out when an installation needs correcting.

One direct drive interface for the work that happens at the bench. Same superior design as our original, but now even better.

For the home installer, that means a straightforward way to engage and position the part. For the ski technician doing mount after mount, it's a practical change to a familiar job.

Drive it. Dial it in. Keep the top clean.

A binding mount is precision work. Getting the insert where it belongs matters, and the hex-drive interface gives you a direct way to make that adjustment during installation.

Need to correct the position? The same drive interface lets you back the insert out during the installation process. 

With the drive feature inside the bottom, the top stays free of an installation slot. Simple. Clean. Purpose-built.

A low-profile tip for thinner ski designs

Ski designs keep evolving. The hardware underneath the binding should, too.

The updated insert incorporates a low-profile tip to address thinner ski designs. It's a change to the part's profile, not permission to skip checking the ski in front of you. Confirm adequate material thickness and the correct drilling and installation depth before starting any mount.

We want the hardware working with the ski. Not showing through the other side.

New drive. Familiar thread dimensions.

The hex-drive design retains our internal and external thread dimensions. Inside, the M5 thread accepts the appropriate binding machine screw. Outside, the threads secure the insert in the properly prepared ski mounting hole.

The redesign focuses on how you install and position the insert without changing those thread dimensions. You'll still need the correct fastener length and head style for your exact binding, including any shims or accessories.

Why this matters

Binding inserts have a straightforward job: create a reusable threaded connection so your bindings can come off and go back on. But a straightforward job is no reason to stop improving the part.

We've focused this development on the details installers actually work with: how the driver engages, how you adjust depth, how the insert profile fits the application, and how the finished mount looks.

For us, that's what useful innovation looks like. Not another slogan. A change you can put a tool into.

We began introducing this design into our product line during winter 2024–25. This is the next chapter of Quiver Killer hardware, built around the same idea that got us started: more possibilities for your ski-and-binding setup.

Good hardware still needs a good mount

The hex drive changes how you engage the insert. It doesn't replace accurate drilling, tapping, suitable adhesive, or careful depth control. Follow the applicable installation instructions and have a ski technician experienced with insert installations handle the work if it's outside your experience.

Before reusing existing fasteners, confirm they're right for the binding and setup. 

Your questions, straight answers

What size driver does the insert use?

The internal drive interface accepts a 3 mm hex driver.

Where is the hex-drive feature?

Inside the bottom of the insert, accessed through the insert's opening. There's no drive slot across the top.

Can it be used to remove an insert?

The interface can be used to back an insert out when correcting an installation. Removal after adhesive has cured depends on the adhesive and installation conditions; don't treat the drive feature as a guarantee of easy removal from a finished mount.

Does the low-profile tip make it suitable for every ski?

There is no perfect answer to this, but our new design allows for more flexibility and thinner ski cores. Ski construction, material thickness, and mounting depth still need to be assessed for the specific installation.
