- What size hole do these need?
- The post diameter is 3/16", so punch or drill a 3/16" hole. The post is 1/4" long, which sets how thick a stack it can clamp.
- What driver do they take?
- The head is slotted, so a standard flat head screwdriver works. It also fits a T-15 star driver, which gives better control on small screws.
- How many come in a pack?
- Ten posts and ten screws, so ten complete sets.
- Can I undo them after fitting?
- Yes. That is the point of a Chicago screw: it unscrews and can be reused, unlike a rivet.
- Are they strong enough for a belt?
- They suit light joining and decoration on belts and bags. For a strap that takes heavy pull, a rivet or stitched seam carries more load.
- Do they work on fabric or plastic?
- They are made for leather and similar firm materials. Soft fabric will pull around the post.
