Choosing leather hardware, patterns & care often comes down to one practical question: do you need screw-together hardware for layered leather, or a press-stud closure with tools? These kits are nearly equal in listed price, but they solve different fastening jobs. The quickest decision is to match the hardware style to the finished project rather than choosing by price alone.
Quick verdict
Choose 80 Sets Chicago Screw Leather Rivets Assorted Kit Chicago Binding Screws 5 Sizes when your project calls for Chicago screws or binding screws in several post lengths. Choose Leather Snap Fasteners Kit 10/12/15mm Metal Button Snaps Press Studs With 4 Tool when you want press studs and installation tools in the same kit. Neither format replaces the other.

Product notes
80 Sets Chicago Screw Leather Rivets Assorted Kit
This kit is the natural choice for projects that specifically call for Chicago screws, binding screws, or screw-and-base leather hardware. It contains 80 sets arranged across five sizes, with a 5 mm post diameter and post lengths ranging from 6 mm to 18 mm. That range is the clearest reason to choose it: the hardware can be matched to different layer thicknesses within the listed assortment. The steel construction and divided clear storage box also make the set practical to sort by size. Its limitation is its format. These are screw-style components, so the kit is not the right match when the finished project needs a press-stud button closure. Choose it for leather craft work where removable binding hardware is the intended finish.
Leather Snap Fasteners Kit
The Leather Snap Fasteners Kit is aimed at a different result: metal button snaps for leather, canvas, jeans, jackets, bags, and related craft applications. Its listed 10 mm, 12 mm, and 15 mm options give shoppers a choice of snap diameter, while the four included tools make it the clearer pick when installation equipment is important. The round snap format is also a direct match for press-stud closures rather than screw posts. The limitation is that its sizing centers on button-snap diameters, so it is not a direct substitute for the Chicago screw assortment when a project needs screw-and-base hardware or varied post lengths. Pick this kit when the closure style, rather than a binding-screw layout, is the main requirement.
Final choice by use case
For leather craft projects that name Chicago screws, binding screws, or removable screw-style hardware, select the 80 Sets Chicago Screw Leather Rivets Assorted Kit. Its title and assortment are built around that fastening format.
For projects needing press studs on leather or fabric materials, select the Leather Snap Fasteners Kit. Its title identifies the snap format and four tools, making the intended use straightforward.
If both formats seem workable, the $0.04 listed-price difference is too small to outweigh the hardware choice. Decide first between screw-and-base fastening and button snaps; then choose the matching kit.
