A tee-nut holder strip of breakable material, and a plurality of tee-nuts having threaded sleeves and flanges, and spikes formed from portions of the flanges and having a strip defining a plurality of precisely spaced apart holes formed axially along the central axis of the strip for receiving the sleeves of the tee-nuts, the holes being undersized relative to the sleeves and displacement of material by the sleeves causing a wedging grip on the sleeves and, strip material located around the holes and the tee-nuts having their spikes penetrating through the material around the holes, thereby holding the tee-nuts in a predetermined precisely spaced apart relationship in the strip of material, the material being breakable between the tee-nuts, to permit punching in of individual tee-nuts one at a time, into a workpiece.
