Description
Chicago screws are used when you want to fasten two materials together in a neat and sturdy way – without sewing, gluing or using a standard rivet. They work a bit like a screwable rivet: the two parts screw together from either side of the material and can be unscrewed again if you want to adjust, replace or remove the fastening later.
This makes them useful for bags, straps, belts, signs, leather details and your own craft projects. They are especially practical when you want a strong fastening that looks tidy, but does not need to be permanent in the same way as a rivet.
In this assortment box, you get 75 Chicago screws in five different lengths, together with an awl and a precision screwdriver. That makes it easier to choose the right length for the thickness of the material and to fit the screws straight away.
The screws consist of two parts: a screw part and a barrel part, which are screwed together from either side of the material. Use the awl to make a hole in the material and the screwdriver to tighten the parts into a stable fastening.

Chicago screws are a good choice when you want a fastening that is stronger than glue, easier to open than a rivet and neater than a standard screw.
They are especially useful when you want to:
- Attach a strap to a bag
- Repair or reinforce a belt
- Fit details in leather or heavy fabric
- Attach signs, labels or decorative details
- Make your own bag, strap or craft projects
- Be able to unscrew the fastening again if needed
- Choose a screw length that suits the thickness of the material.
- Make a hole in the material using the awl or another suitable tool.
- Insert the barrel part through the hole from one side.
- Place the screw part from the other side.
- Screw the parts together using the included screwdriver.
Tighten until the fastening is stable, but avoid overtightening if the material is soft.
The right length matters. If the screw is too short, it will not get a proper hold. If it is too long, the parts may not pull tightly enough together.
Try on a scrap piece first if you are working with leather, heavy fabric or another material where the size and placement of the hole matter.
Because the screws can be unscrewed again, they are practical for both repairs and projects where you may want to replace or adjust parts later.
