Hanks Chicago Screws are brass, corrosion-resistant binding posts that join two layers of leather with a screw instead of a rivet, so a buckle can be swapped out later. Each pack holds two screws, and the listing notes they are easy to drop and lose while changing a buckle, so spares make sense. They suit anyone replacing a worn snap or rivet on a heavy-duty belt, sling or carry strap. Against snaps, which can pop open under load, and rivets, which are permanent, these keep the buckle secure and still removable. Buyers rate them highly, and the main complaint is simply that two per pack is a small count.

Buyers rate these screws highly and use them to replace failed snaps and rivets on belts and slings. The recurring note is that the two-screw pack is small for the job.
Chicago screws secure buckles to heavy-duty belts. They are made of brass and resist corrosion. They are also used as replacement screws for factory slings and carry straps.
A Chicago screw holds a buckle more firmly than a snap, which can wear out and pop open under a heavy load. Unlike a rivet, it lets you change the buckle later. The screws are small and easy to drop when swapping a buckle.
They come in nickel-plated and brass-plated finishes, so you can match them to your buckle color.
