Not solid brass

This is NOT solid brass. I tried aging them with vinegar and salt and the outer layer of gold dissolved away and they turned into simple steel pins and screws.

Pros
  • Leathercraft
Cons
  • Fade

Short count and some were badly cut

The ten packages of Chicago screws I received contained eight screws. Of these three parts of the barrel, the threads were not cut to the end, so the screws did not fully penetrate. I used an 8-32 tap to get the threads all the way in and that fixed the problem. I paid for ten and got eight, three of which needed repairs to make them work. Also, they appear to be solid brass and once installed they do what Chicago screws are supposed to do. Improved Quality Control.

Pros
  • Leathercraft
Cons
  • Expensive
