Quick take
Choosing leather hardware, patterns & care often comes down to one practical fork: do you need a known fastener format in quantity, or a mixed kit that gives you more variety? Chicago screws and snap fasteners serve different project needs, so the fastening method should come first. After that, compare size range, finish, included tools, storage, and price.
- For a focused Chicago-screw project: choose the Leather Hardware Chicago screw lot.
- For Chicago-screw length variety: choose the Assorted Chicago screw kit.
- For mixed snap colors and diameters: choose the Leather Snap Fasteners Kit.
- For a gun-black snap format: choose the 70 Sets snap fasteners kit.

Product notes
Leather Hardware - LOT Of 100 BRASS PLATED Chicago Screws - 3/8
The lot is a focused choice for a project that calls for Chicago screws rather than press studs. Its brass-plated finish gives the hardware a defined look, while the threaded center hole is specific to the screw design. A 100-piece lot also suits a run of matching work where uniform hardware matters. The trade-off is focus: the stated format gives one 3/8-inch post length, so it is less adaptable than an assorted kit when projects call for different lengths. At $25, it is also the costliest listed choice, making the fixed format the main reason to select it.
80 Sets Chicago Screw Leather Rivets Assorted Kit Chicago Binding Screws 5 Sizes
With five post lengths and a partitioned clear storage box, this kit is the flexible Chicago-screw pick for projects that use different lengths. Its steel screw-and-base format is suited to binding, installation, removal, and repeated use. The limitation is distribution: 16 sets are allocated to each size, so it may be less targeted when a job needs a large quantity of just one length. The $13.49 listed price sits between the two snap kits and the fixed-format lot, so assortment rather than a single format defines its appeal.
Leather Snap Fasteners Kit 10/12/15mm Brass Button Snaps Press Studs With 4 Tool
Mixed-color brass snaps are the draw here: the kit combines bronze, silver, gray, and golden finishes with 10mm, 12mm, and 15mm types, plus four tools. That makes it a natural match when a leather, canvas, bag, or jacket project may call for different snap looks or diameters. The concrete limitation is the mixed-lot format: if the finished piece needs one consistent color, separating the four finishes adds a sorting step. The listed price is $10.39, the lowest in the comparison, but the main reason to choose it is the combination of color variety and tools rather than a single uniform finish.
70 Sets 15mm 5/8" Snap Fasteners Kit - Metal Snaps for Leather Craft Repair
For a single black-finish snap look, the 15mm 5/8-inch kit keeps the format straightforward: 70 metal sets, a storage box, and an installation tool are all named. Its listed fit includes leather craft, handbags, belts, jeans, jackets, and DIY craft, so it speaks directly to repair and making projects across those uses. The limitation is material thickness. The stated use guidance says it is suitable for light to medium fabric and not thick fabric such as wool blankets; fabrics with surface wear may need backing. Choose it when the gun-black finish and listed 15mm format fit the project, not when a different diameter or heavy fabric is central.
Final recommendation by use case
- For a single-format Chicago-screw job: choose *Leather Hardware - LOT Of 100 BRASS PLATED Chicago Screws - 3/8*.
- For Chicago-screw work where lengths may vary: choose *80 Sets Chicago Screw Leather Rivets Assorted Kit Chicago Binding Screws 5 Sizes*.
- For a mixed snap-fastener project: choose *Leather Snap Fasteners Kit 10/12/15mm Brass Button Snaps Press Studs With 4 Tool*.
- For leather-craft repair aligned with the gun-black format: choose *70 Sets 15mm snap fasteners kit for leather craft repair*.
Start with the fastening system, then decide whether the project benefits from a fixed format, length assortment, mixed finish, or one snap size. The $14.61 listed-price spread is a secondary tie-breaker; the more important match is whether the hardware type and format align with the work.
