Most everyone knows what Chicago screws are......they just didn't realize that's what they were called!! :) :)

I didn't know that's what they were called until a few years ago.

I new what they were but couldn't find them and no one had heard of them so did a "Net Search"

I always carry a few, for repairs when I go into the back country.don't need a tool to set them.

I mistakenly (apparently) called them Wyoming screws for years. Well, I've called them lots of other names too, but wont get into that. Many's the time I've been packing horses in the mountains and come out with practicly no mocassin laces left from fixing rigging that those danged screws have fell out of. I'm at the point now that when I see one of the little boogers I just remove it and replace it with a piece of leather and save myself the heartbreak and frustration of doing it at an inopportune time. 8)

I agree, and sure wouldn't ever buy a bridle, reins, or anything else held together with Chicago screws.
