For leather hardware, patterns & care, the key choice is whether your project needs Chicago screws that join layers with a removable screw-and-base connection or press studs that create a snap closure. These kits serve different jobs, so choosing the fastening style first is more useful than choosing by price alone.
Quick verdict
Choose the 80 Sets Chicago Screw Leather Rivets Assorted Kit Chicago Binding Screws 5 Sizes when a leather craft pattern calls for Chicago binding screws, removable assembly, or multiple post lengths. Choose the Leather Snap Fasteners Kit 10/12/15mm Brass Button Snaps Press Studs With 4 Tool when the project calls for brass button snaps for leather, canvas, jeans, bags, or similar listed materials. Neither fastening style replaces the other, so the pattern's hardware instruction should lead the decision.

Where each product wins
Chicago screw kit
This kit wins when the project is built around binding screws rather than a snap closure. Its five listed post lengths-6, 10, 12, 15, and 18 mm-give a pattern-specific choice within that format. The description also says the pieces can be installed, removed, and used repeatedly, which suits assemblies that may need to come apart during a craft project.
Leather snap fastener kit
This kit wins when the fastening needs to work across the listed materials, including leather, canvas, jeans, PVC, mesh covers, jackets, sportswear, bags, tarps, and RV covers. Its mixed bronze, silver, grey, and golden finishes also make it a practical match when the hardware's visible color is part of the project's design.
Product notes
80 Sets Chicago Screw Leather Rivets Assorted Kit Chicago Binding Screws 5 Sizes
An especially useful reason to choose this kit is its organization: the small clear storage box is partitioned by size, making the components easier to sort while following a leather craft pattern. The description identifies carbon steel construction and says the screws are easy to install and remove, with repeated use supported by the screw design. That combination fits projects where a removable connection matters more than a permanently closed fastener. The limitation is the hardware format itself: Chicago binding screws are not the right match for a project specified around button snaps. Select this kit when the pattern names Chicago screws and one of its listed post lengths suits the assembly.
Leather Snap Fasteners Kit 10/12/15mm Brass Button Snaps Press Studs With 4 Tool
The clearest reason to choose this kit is that it combines brass snap buttons with installation tools, giving a craft project both the closure components and the basic fitting equipment in one package. It lists 10, 12, and 15 mm types plus bronze, silver, grey, and golden finishes, so the assortment can match different pattern requirements and design choices. The limitation is the mixed assortment: it is not a substitute for Chicago binding screws when a leather pattern specifies screw posts. The title identifies this as a press-stud kit, making it the more relevant route for snap closures on bags, clothing, canvas work, and related craft applications.
Final choice by use case
Pick the 80 Sets Chicago Screw Leather Rivets Assorted Kit Chicago Binding Screws 5 Sizes for leather bag hardware or a pattern that specifically names Chicago binding screws, especially when removable assembly is part of the plan. Pick the Leather Snap Fasteners Kit 10/12/15mm Brass Button Snaps Press Studs With 4 Tool for projects that call for brass button snaps, mixed finishes, and installation tools. If either fastening style would work, the snap kit is listed at USD 10.39, compared with USD 13.49 for the Chicago screw kit-a $3.10 difference.
