Shopping for leather hardware, patterns & care supplies often comes down to a format decision: do you want a larger double-cap rivet assortment with installation tools, or Chicago screws in a five-size range? The 240 Set Leather Rivets kit suits quantity-focused projects, while the 80 Sets Chicago Screw Leather Rivets kit targets removable fastening. Here's how the two kits differ for leather craft and leather bag hardware.
Quick verdict
Choose the 240 Set Leather Rivets kit when a larger assortment and included tools are the priority. Choose the 80 Sets Chicago Screw Leather Rivets kit when the Chicago screw format is central to the project. The listed price spread is $4.92, with the double-cap kit at the lower end, so the fastening style and contents should drive the decision.

Product notes
Double-Cap Leather Rivet Kit
With 240 double-cap rivets across four colors and three sizes, this kit gives a crafter a broad assortment for leather bag hardware and other leather work. The double-cap wording makes the fastening style clear, while the plastic case is divided by size and color for straightforward sorting. That combination is the main reason to choose it: the quantity and color selection support projects that call for a mixed rivet supply rather than one narrowly defined hardware type. Its limitation is format. These are double-cap rivets, not the Chicago screw system named in the competing kit. The three-size configuration is also distinct from the Chicago screw kit's five-size configuration, so the preferred range depends on the hardware style required.
Chicago Screw Leather Rivet Kit
A different route, this kit uses steel components with a specified screw-and-post setup. The listed post diameter is 3/16 inch (5 mm), the screw and base diameter is 3/8 inch (10 mm), and the post lengths run from 1/4 inch (6 mm) to 11/16 inch (18 mm). Those dimensions give shoppers concrete measurements to compare with a project's requirements. The partitioned clear storage box keeps the components grouped by size, and the removable screw design suits work where disassembly matters. The limitation is the 80-set quantity, which is smaller than the 240-set double-cap rivet assortment. Shoppers choosing this kit are trading quantity for a specifically described Chicago screw format.
Final choice by use case
For a double-cap rivet project, choose Double-Cap Leather Rivet Kit. For Chicago screw fastening or work where removal matters, choose Chicago Screw Leather Rivet Kit. When both routes are workable, let the lower listed price break the tie. The decisive question is whether the project calls for cap-style rivets or screw-based fasteners.
