Yes, unlike a permanently pressed insert nut, it releases by reversing the hex-drive wedge, so it can be repositioned or taken out entirely.
The Veritas bench anchor is rated for a minimum pull-out strength of 200 lb in hardwood and 150 lb in softwood, tested in a 1 1/4 inch blind hole.
A hex key drives the internal wedge to set the anchor's friction, and the same key locks it in place once it's positioned at the right depth.
Yes, it holds securely whether it's used horizontally, vertically or at any angle in between, since the wedge mechanism doesn't rely on gravity to stay seated.
