Performore Brass Plated Chicago Screw Posts vs 1-1/4" Aluminum Screw Posts

Both are 1-1/4 inch aluminum binding posts with 8-32 threads, so they do the same job. The Performore set is the easier buy for scrapbooks, photo albums and light leather repair, and it is sold in larger counts with a brass-plated finish. The Fastener Line posts give you exact engineering specs, a toothed flange that grips the page, and a slotted screw head, which matters more for repeated binding and disbinding. Neither is a heavy-duty structural fastener.

• Choose the Performore screw posts if you want a brass-look finish and a bigger pack for scrapbooking, albums and small leather repairs.
• Choose the Fastener Line aluminum screw posts if you want documented dimensions, a toothed flange that stays put, and a slotted head for tightening.
