For cosplayers, trading tips and tricks are the bread and butter of the community. One of the best secret weapons for cosplayers are called Chicago screws. They’re also known as paper rivets, binding screws, or binding posts. They come in an endless variety of finishes, depths, and materials. They’re fabulous for attaching armor sections together that can move without nuts and bolts sticking out and scratching you or other parts of your costume!

that sounds like a gangster killing you

what i am trying to make is a platform that has side walls to it. and from the front side to have a opening but still having some wall in the front like on each side L _| and i want the platform to have the same shape of video tripod head and the most imported part is to have a camera female bushing like what camera have in the bottom to be able to attach to the tripod quick release plate
Get serious! Quit screwing around, Adam. 😉👌
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.
Did you guys do something different in this video? The color and lighting look amazing. 💯
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”.
For real. I know its a namesake, but still I live 40 min. away from Chicago and I'm only hearing about these now.
@@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. 😅
"we're about to change your life with the Chicago screw" sounds like a mob hit.
Or a new subgenre in Porn Hub?

Am from Chicago, can confirm.
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.
It still amazes me how much can change in your mind when introduced to new techniques and tools! :)
Yep. Been there so many times... I find eBay and Google searches help abundantly.
Yeah that's how you get a basement full of tools, got to try them all!
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.
@@matthewkuhl79 Nah, man. Google (or DuckDuckGo if you value your privacy) is the ultimate research aid. What you're doing is what people used to do the hard way over days/weeks/months in libraries.
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.
“Get out there and screw everything together“ - I usually just get out there and screw everything up but thanks anyway...
Vladimír Dzoganík I usually get out there and screw everything

"Get out there and screw stuff up" is immediately what I thought he was going to say as he started saying it. I was wrong
Hello comrade
@@Epicmonk117 People who say they 'screw everything' usually just mean 'both hands'.
I absolutely love these things, they've made my life so much easier for a lot of my projects.
My nightmare as a kid was losing one of these unknowingly, and finding out right before a hockey game.
I never realized Hockey helmets= Iron Man tech
D H I don’t know why I did that, and I apologize. Thank you for pointing it out.
"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've been using these for years for my home business, a little dap of thread lock will keep these from backing out every time.
Sexed bolt. That's what I've always known them as.
That's that I've been told they are as well, for as long as I remember. Use some really long ones to hold frame less cabinets together.
Yup, sex bolts. Male & female. I wish the world were so simple....
@@doktorbike-9000 Works for plugs and outlets too.
And now I understand why they're called sex bolts, thanks.
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!
Recent videos have been really good. Thanks tested and Adam!
I am in love with this series. I’m learning so much! These look awesome!
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.
lol, thats exactly how i first used them
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.
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!
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
Short and sweet video. Very nice.
love these short clips on your favorite tools, keep it going!!!
These really are so useful, I used them on a low profile stair gate last year. Highly recommended
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¡! 😊❤️
been looking for this kind but never knew what they were called. Thank you
i too love these screws. First found them in my engineering class in high school and they are amazing!
I used these on my Stormtrooper build, and they changed my life. So handy and versatile!
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 👍🏻
I too love these. My wife used to use them for scrapbooking. I've used them in several of my maker projects.
I love every video that Adam and the Tested folks put out but that hanging prop from The Thing freaks me out every single time. Thanks Adam :)
I love these! thanks adam!
I love Chicago screws! They’ve solved a couple odd problems I’ve had and also make lovely key organizers with a bit of leather
These videos are quickly becoming my favourite
I've had one of these on my desk for ages and I never knew what it was called! Thank you. Now I know.
Great Stuff!!! Thank you Adam!!!
Another very good video guys!
You guys are awesome!! Keep up the good work. I also started a CZcams channel for my travels. I’m still learning.
These are so awesome.
Love me some chicago screws. Also great for testing your rivet hole placement before you make them more permanent.
Picking up a pack now that you mention it.
Who knows when I'll use them, but I'll be excited when I do.
This is life changing!
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!
I love them. They are a tad expensive but there are times where nothing else would do. Terrific little suckers.
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
I always assumed that something like this had to exist but never knew how to go about finding them this series is a goldmine
I need this
Thank you adam
Thank you!
yep love those things! keep rocking!
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.
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.
Totally agree these things are made of the awesome, also screw together grommets. They make things a whole lot easier.
I need some of these and had NO CLUE what they were called.
Thanks Adam!!!
Also used in knife pivots I beleive, I didn't know the name of these until a few years ago and yess its a life changer 😂
I love Chicago screws for armor making.
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 :)
I really respect those hands, they have worked long and hard, and show it.
This series is filling up my watch later playlist!
Very familiar with these . Been using them for years . Most common in commercial bathroom partition installation . 😁
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.
Yep I've known about them for a while but didn't know their name. Cheers Adam
This is a job I love 💜
My work had a machine part shipped in a box held together with these, glad I now got a name for them now.
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 think those widgets had another name, but I know exactly what your talking about. (firm nod)
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 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.
A must have in any studio
I will never use ANY of these tools, but watching Adam talk about them is really fun.
I've known about these since school. Awesome little fellas :)
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.
Ahh - YES! I have been using these for years!
Very useful,... and the antiqued brass ones look great on a steampunk costume. :D
THANK YOU I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THE NAME FOR THESE THINGS FOR 2 MONTHS NOW
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
Thank you, I have known of these from finding them in machines I repaired - but never knew the proper name.
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.
Ive only ever known these as barrel nuts and there a pain to find under that name, thanks
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.
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 love Chicago screws !!!!!!!! I have them on all of my Rifle slings. They are fantastic !!!!!!!!!!
Oh I used these when I was doing SCA stuffs for leather and metal armor. Almost same use just a bit more fuctional. lol I have used them for a ton of projects.
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
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.
I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THESE FOREVER
You can find plenty in the 'weird fastener' bins at Lowes, Home Despot, Ace, especially Ace....
They’re screw together rivets! I love it!
me everytime: going to youtube looking something specifict, see new upload from Adam Savage instantly forgot what you were looking for 😂
Thanks for being you, Adam.
I always wondered what they were called, I had seen the long ones used on upholstery fabric sample books.
Saw screws!
Also screw rivets (I use a lot of them in leatherworking)
One word, Adam (aside from 'thanks'): moisturizer.
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.
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.
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
these screws are so useful in my shop
Rivnuts are also handy for this sort of thing too
Got a ruler tattoo hu, I've been wanting one of those but dont know how well or accurate it would be and hold up.
you could track how it stretches or changes over time, lol
Kydex making and carbon fiber we use them a lot to give the item a clean look.
For German speakers:
Here they are called "Buchschrauben" wich means Book Screws...refering to your Paper Screws.
We use these a lot in the leather world. Most notably on belts for removable buckles.
Going to need to Chicago screw on a new finger nail there soon Mr. Savage
He's smashed that finger a treat.
I use some thread lock or CA glue to keep things from moving out...CA glue when i've misplace my threadlock.
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.
Would dzus fasteners also work in instances like this? We use them a lot in modding cars. They come in very handy, and are uber strong. They likely wouldn’t be applicable all the time, but could help you out a lot

Yeah not gonna a lie, you definitely just blew my mind.
Those are awesome, but I'm also curious, what's the brand/model on that organizer case he's using?
Make more of these videos
Have you done, or would you do an episode about cool obscure tools? My new favorite is a JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) screw driver.
