Yo, do you guys still get the affiliate commision thing if i go through smile.amazon.com or not?cause if i have to choose between JDRF and tested, i hate to say JDRF is getting the money. i owe them.
I didn’t know these existed until I desperately needed the “female” side of one of these to solve a problem at work. I called it a “female bolt” and printed a couple as a proof of concept before finding them on McMaster as “Binding Barrels”.
I've found in crafting that I encounter two problems. 1) a lack of knowledge that a thing exists. 2) buying multiple types of wrong things til I encounter the goldie-locks one.
Sometimes i Google a description of something until i get close enough for it to understand. It works better than you would think, which is kinda frightening, really.

I think what I love most about these videos is how to can just tell Adam is exited to talk about it. and it makes my little maker heart feel so validated to see that. there have been a bunch of instances when watching Adam talking about a tool or something where my eyes go wide and I lean in closer to my monitor because something has caught my imagination and a hundred thousand new ideas about how to do things just took form.
"Sex bolt" (yes, seriously, go look it up) or book screw is what I've heard. I've used some that have O-rings in them to help prevent them from backing out - provides some grip on the flat-face surface.
I work in the bookbinding industry and I've always heard them refered as Chicago screws. They're often used for swatches of all kinds or to make an improvised paper binder. You can actually extend the posts of these and bind some really thick material.
Also called "screw posts," which is the name you will most likely find them under in scrapbooking supplies. Most modern scrapbooks are bound with them, which is why you can also find post extenders of varying lengths. I've used post extenders from the scrapbooking aisle with screw posts from Tandy Leather more than once!
Thanks Adam! I use these to hold together a stack of samples at work, bit never knew their name. Pro tip, a tiny amount of silicone caulk holds them in like locktite while allowing you to unscrew them if you want/need to
Just bought 3 to hold together a college textbook (since sometime the physical copy of the textbooks come as a pre hole punched stack of paper with pages from the actual book printed on them) and honestly I haven’t regretted it since because then it helps keep the pages together more firm (although taking out or adding individual pages is more of a hassle than just keeping it in a three ringed binder) plus it’s a great aesthetic look too 👍🏻
Thank you so much Adam! I've been looking for something like this for a long time for a cosplay I'm working on, also I want to personally thank you for your time on Mythbusters and your dedication to creating and inspiring everywhere you go. You changed my life for the better and I wish you well with many crazy and inventive projects throughout the years to come!
Weirdly enough, I've known about Chicago Screws because of the print industry. When I was printing large architectural CAD drawings and the page count was too high, sometimes we would drill through the paper and use Chicago Screws to keep it bound when it was too large to staple with inch long staples.
I've used these on "custom" or just heavily modified clothing like adding a reinforced belt around the bottom of a coat or to add straight jacket straps across the chest of a couple coats I had years ago.... I've even added webbing sections to backpacks and replaced straps on backpacks w/ the padded and pocketed kind from hiking bags (before you could buy backpacks w/ replaceable straps), These are some of the most versatile screw/bolts on the market and I love them¡! 😊❤️
Worth mentioning that the other advantage of the Chicago screw vs a regular nut/bolt is that by sizing the barrel correctly, one can tightly fasten the screw (so it doesn't back out) without binding of the material being fastened. With a regular bolt, you either have to make it tight enough to bind, use a jam nut, or use a nylock type nut.
These are used in pretty much every home I've been to, to hold the faceplates behind the handles on doors, so you don't have to screw in the wood of the door but the faceplates themselves work as giant washers with the screws holding them tight. In Germany they're called "Buch(binder)schraube", lit: "book binder screws" as they were used to bind books together in a non-permanent manner.
I work in a hardware store we have these in the Hillman fasteners section. Hillman calls them "Binding Posts". I've solved quite a few problems for customers with these.
Also, rivet-nuts, rivnuts or nutsserts. Kinda like a pop rivet, but for one sheet and you rivet in place a threaded "nut" instead. Really awesome when you need good machine threads for attatching either two panels together, or fastening something larger to a panel with machine threads and access to the backside is difficult or limited. I find it particularly useful for automotive stuff, and other things I know will be coming apart multiple times in its lifetime.
Those are used to secure cabinets - kitchen/bath/wardrobe - together. Ta make the cabinets in your kitchen as one unite - you secure them with those. Here in Norway we use some that are almost 1 inch (24mm) to clamp two sides together.
Hi Adam! I absolutely love your videos, I've been watching your videos for 3 or 4 years now and I started watching mythbusters in 2005. Your videos are so awesome and I love your excitement and dedication, keep up the good work Adam, never stop amazing us!
I know about these from my Dad, he fixes old horse tack, and he would use these instead of rivets depending on the job. A trick he taught me with these was to take nail polish and put a thin layer on the threads to keep them from coming loose when you fasten them together.
I used exactly these to fix a small A4 size piece of aluminium checkerplate to my custom fit driverside car mat, i was sick of always wearing through car mats with my heels...they worked a treat and look great.
I remember as a kid we had metal paper fasteners so you could have 2 bits of paper rotating from each other, i spent ages thinking of ways just to use these clips cause i was so fascinated with them, clock dials being the most common, but made paper people with arms and legs that hinged, this takes me back to that time in the 70's
I recently used a set of these to replace rivets to reuse a flat strip magnet on a new 2020 calendar to stick to a refrigerator. Found them in the special hardware bins at a Lowe's store near home, cost me 68 cents. I knew of them from paper binding, but also from things like keyhole saw handles and similar.
I just know them as one of many types of rivets, because I knew of their existence when I was shopping for rivets online. Never had any use for them but now I have some ideas. Thanks, Adam :D
They work great as rail buttons on my model rocket. The launch rod is a 1x1 inch aluminum v slot and the screws slide right into the slot. Took me forever to find out what they were called
I've used thousands of these binding papers. I've always called them screw-rivets or threaded rivets. Neither are correct, but that was always kinda the best I could come up with. You're right though, they are extremely handy when you need a low profile fastener.
Oh, we used those for binding our portfolios in uni. They were great because you could unscrew them and add/replace pages whenever you liked. Have never heard that name though. Good to know :)
My wife has always wanted her own book of shadows that could expand as she filled the book. I had thought of using these screws. When I was in the military, they were on just about every tech manual.
I first ran across these in a box labeled "Chicago Screwpost" in my local office-supply store over 40 years ago. I've seen a couple of the other names people have mentioned above, but this is the first time I've ever heard "Chicago Screw." FWIW, I'm pretty sure "Chicago Screwpost" was the name of the manufacturer, with the contents of the box listed in somewhat smaller type as "100 Binding Screws with Posts."
Commonly used in belts and other leather goods as well 👍 love these quick videos! Adam, hope that finger heals up soon...didn't your mother ever tell you that you're not supposed to hurt yourself lol
Also in general sewing! They're used on denim as they can withstand intense strain much better than any sew on button. Next time take a look at your jeans and the button probably is one or a modified one.
There is also: Post nuts, sometimes called stand off nuts, it's like a chicago screw(the nut part), but the nut is longer, like a internally threaded tube with a flange on one or both sides. And we also have to mention rivet nuts, wich is a nut you rivet in a hole, they are really neat when threading the hole is not an option, and you want a clean look without a bunch of weird looking nut-clips or welded/glued nuts on the backside.
They're basically replacements for rivets, but much more useful. I've used them on a sword (real one), 1796 light cavalry sabre, you replace the hilt rivet. They're fantastic for leatherwork.
we make ours but in tool and die it's way different, we will take a bolt and with a Whirley gig we will use a surface grinder to grind down the diameter of the head and shaft, usually taking the same amount off each, but people forget that with it being round that you are taking double off so if you want to remove .050 of material you'll grind .025. We use them to manipulate form steels in die sets that are used to make car parts. It's a trick that comes in handy when you need to form a part with-in spec for quality. Mostly this method is used when your material "steel" doesn't stay consistent cause of either chemical make-up, hard spots from when the steel was made.
Just love this... The close up on his hands fiddling with that tiny object, shows a guy that has been working with them all his life. And as such a right handed guy never use that poor left hand index finger! Its just been punished too many times... 😁
Love watching the builds. Especially the Sci fi. How about for the next one day build or big build you make a Ghostbusters (1984) proton pack, ghost trap and pke meter as screen seen?? Would be great to see especially with the new film coming out soon. Thanks for the builds
I think he's changing my life here.. I have a Captain America cosplay, too, more specifically, a magnetic shield harness. It's a 95 lb pull magnet bolted to to leather belts forming the harness, what the bolt sticks me in the back... This honestly might just have changed my life
I am from Chicago and am a carpenter, we use these type of screws to build bathroom partitions and we call them sex bolts. Male and female ends you can figure that part out for yourself. Love the videos Adam keep it up...
If anyone has trouble finding these, check out your local hockey shop. They'll usually have little bags of these, and sometimes even a purpose build hinge that will hold wire tight!
You dont know how long i have wondered what these were called I had some kicking about and used on a build but then couldnt find any more Thanks oh mighty prop god
Oh my god...I was just wondering about what i was gonna do for rivets for my medieval suit of armor i'm trying to make. This is EXACTLY what i was looking for lol.
I've been an engineer for over 20 years, and I've always gotten away with calling these "Hockey helmet screws." :) Always good to know the correct name for them though- thanks Adam. Also check out Corby fasteners- similar, but used for a different purpose.
A sex bolt, (also known as a barrel nut, barrel bolt, Chicago screw, post and screw or connector bolt), is a type of fastener (nut) that has a barrel-shaped flange and protruding boss that is internally threaded. ... It is normally chosen because of its low profile compared to other nuts. According to Google
I have only ever heard of those as barrel nuts. That's what they're sold by in every hardware store near me and how I've found them listed at online hardware stores. I never heard called Chicago Screws before.
If you can't get it local when you need a couple in a hurry check thriftstores for $1 photoalbums|scrapbooks. Chicago screws are used to make the binding type used by those products, you can also get those albums new at a craftstore but that's a really expensive way to get the bolts instead of .30-.70 cents a bolt at the thrift store
I asked for the many names of these screw and none of my local hardware store knew what it is! Hae to resort ti bolts and nuts and pain ( or just with glue and duct tape ). Time to stock up with buying them online, I'm gonna need lots of these screws.
I wouldn't call it a leather rivet, though it does look a lot like an oversize one if the threads aren't visible, I suppose. I've used Chicago screws a couple of times in leatherwork, though, and I've never had a name for them until now.
These came in super clutch for me about a year ago when I broke my ankle, was placed in what the hospital called a "Moon boot," which I also broke, and needed to repair.
The amount of tools and hardware you show off that I used when I worked at a grip lighting general house is ridiculous. Makes me think art / prop department might be the place to be.

@@Frankntooth XD i live in chicago, and have some of these but i could never get them at hardware stores cuz i didn't know the name XD
@Please Complete All Fields A barrel nut is different from a sex bolt; it has its threads perpendicular to the length of the nut.
Everywhere I've seen them they're called screw and post
@Please Complete All Fields Ahh, welcome to the machine shop - where it's (traditionally) just us guys, and *everything* is a euphemism. 😅

A lot like Chainring Bolts used on bikes. Except those use an allen wrench on one side and a flathead on the other so you can toque them up tight.
Ohhhh - those are what holds all my scrapbooks together. *rainbow and shooting star* The more you know!
A sex bolt, (also known as a barrel nut, barrel bolt, Chicago screw, post and screw or connector bolt), is a type of fastener (nut) that has a barrel-shaped flange and protruding boss that is internally threaded. ... It is normally chosen because of its low profile compared to other nuts. According to Google
We use these a lot in the leather world. Most notably on belts for removable buckles.
I have only ever heard of those as barrel nuts. That's what they're sold by in every hardware store near me and how I've found them listed at online hardware stores. I never heard called Chicago Screws before.
If you can't get it local when you need a couple in a hurry check thriftstores for $1 photoalbums|scrapbooks. Chicago screws are used to make the binding type used by those products, you can also get those albums new at a craftstore but that's a really expensive way to get the bolts instead of .30-.70 cents a bolt at the thrift store
They can also be called binding screws in the UK if you are looking for them.
I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THESE FOREVER
You can find plenty in the 'weird fastener' bins at Lowes, Home Despot, Ace, especially Ace....
Saw screws!
Also screw rivets (I use a lot of them in leatherworking)
A must have in any studio
One word, Adam (aside from 'thanks'): moisturizer.
Short and sweet video. Very nice.
I asked for the many names of these screw and none of my local hardware store knew what it is! Hae to resort ti bolts and nuts and pain ( or just with glue and duct tape ).
Time to stock up with buying them online, I'm gonna need lots of these screws.
Kydex making and carbon fiber we use them a lot to give the item a clean look.
Always saw these things labeled as leather rivets.
Also thank you tested for two minutes of Adam Savage telling us to screw off.
I wouldn't call it a leather rivet, though it does look a lot like an oversize one if the threads aren't visible, I suppose. I've used Chicago screws a couple of times in leatherwork, though, and I've never had a name for them until now.
@@dansummers2965 just what I've found them as in my local hardware stores. Colloquialism of this area I suppose.
These came in super clutch for me about a year ago when I broke my ankle, was placed in what the hospital called a "Moon boot," which I also broke, and needed to repair.
The amount of tools and hardware you show off that I used when I worked at a grip lighting general house is ridiculous. Makes me think art / prop department might be the place to be.
Ahh - YES! I have been using these for years!
Very useful,... and the antiqued brass ones look great on a steampunk costume. :D
Pistachio nut shells!!! Shoulder armor for 6 inch action figures. I figured it out... Thought I'd share that. giving you space sir...
Used to use these on skateboards a couple of decades ago, when skateboards still had rails.
