I need a screw for my belt

[gray wolf]

What the heck kind of screw am I looking for ??

I don't know how to call it or how to get one,
It's the kind that keeps the belt together after the buckle is put on.

One part screws into the other part, The belt is a tad less than 1/4" thick when folded over.

I only need 1 or 2 so I don't want to have to order a gross of them.

Help me out here,

Thanks

It's a binding post, or Chicago screw.... but I don't know where you'd buy just one or two. You can probably find small packs around $4 or $5 though... not too bad.

if we're thinkin' of the same thing, one name for them is a Chicago screw.

Seen them called Chicago screws, I've got some, shoot me your address and I'll send a few your way.

the local true-value hardware is where I get mine.

Beagle is right. Chicago Screw. Look at the local hardware store or leather shop, maybe shoe repair shop. JW

[PULSARNC]

Michaels or one of the other hobby/ craft shops will have them might be labeled as a binding post

T-nut will also work.

See if you have a Tandy Leather Supply store near you or order direct.

What Greg said. It's where I got mine.

The local farm supply store here has them in small packs in the saddle/ leather section.

Look under "belt binding post" on Ebay. They have all kinds and quantities.

[Big Rack]

TSC and or pretty much any hardware farm leather or other country style store carries them.

Chicago screws are a common commodity at most office supply stores. If you have a "Staples" or "Office Depot" or similar store in your area, they should have these in both brass and aluminum, also with the female post in various lengths. I'm not sure whether they call them a Chicago screw (the name I have always known them called) or a binding post. Simply describe the item to a clerk, they should be able to take it from there.

Thank's Men,
great responce, Got Err done.

As a side note, I am 50 to 60 miles from any store that sells anything that I ever need.

But like I said, it's handled.

Thank you all

I think that is on the list of things "junior sells" and last I knew his daughter was keeping things going. Jean rivets were also on that list.

PM me with your address and I will send you 3 o4 I saw some yesterday in my shack.

[Tackleberry41]

I bought some at ace not long ago. They even carry gun specific screws now.

[km101]

If you don't already have some, or have some headed your way, PM me your address and I will send you a half dozen. Great for belts, rifle slings, or any kind of leather strap or tie-down. They are handy to have around and I probably have 200 or more.

Let me know if I can help. Hope you and the missus are doing well and ready for the winter!
