Chicago Screws

Easy to install using a punch and simple hand tightening, they provide a clean, polished finish that enhances the look of handmade items. Suitable for beginners and experienced makers alike, these fasteners support a wide range of leather thicknesses and are especially useful for projects requiring interchangeable or adjustable components. Available in various sizes.
