Chicago screws are two-piece fasteners that join a buckle to a heavy-duty belt with a threaded post and cap instead of a snap or rivet. This 3/8-inch size suits thick belt leather, and the threaded design lets you swap buckles without cutting or re-riveting. They hold better than snaps, which can pop open under a loaded belt, and unlike rivets they stay removable. Sold two screws per pack, in nickel-plated or brass-plated finishes to match a buckle.

Buyers rate these highly and mostly use them to fix or upgrade heavy belts, praising the secure hold and the ability to change buckles. The main gripe is how easily the small screws get lost during a swap.
These Chicago screws secure a buckle to a heavy-duty belt. Each pack contains 2 screws, size 3/8".
A Chicago screw holds a buckle more securely than a snap, which can wear out and pop open under heavy loads. Unlike a rivet, it lets you change out the buckle later.
