Keith,
No, I haven't used the those smaller Timeserts. I have used the Slimserts for 48 years and they have several advantages over the Timeserts.
Timeserts:
------------Drill size -- C'bore -- Dp -- Tap
1/2-13 - 33/64 .515 .648 .110 .604 Carbon steel/SS
The Slimerts use a .531 drill and a 9/16 x 24 UNEF tap but, only a .562 C'bore (most other sizes use std fine thread taps). The knurled area of the Slimsert, is swaged into the C'bore, giving a positive lock and can be removed by just drilling most of the lock out and unscrewing them with the installation tool.
They also offer locking inserts, ideal for rocker studs or any other application that a bolt would benefit from not loosening.
All the inserts are made of 17-4 PH SS, far better than carbon steel and better than 3 or 400 series stainless.
Please read the material over, before making judgement.
I will admit that I have only used the larger Timeserts, in industrial applications.
