Product Information
Full details
For crafters and DIY enthusiasts, these Neel Blue Flat Head Screwback Studs offer a durable and rust-free fastening solution for leather goods, books, and accessories. The primary benefit is their premium brass construction ensuring longevity and a clean finish. A minor consideration is their fixed size, limiting adjustability for very thick materials. Key features include high-hardness brass, rustproof design, and easy installation with a standard screwdriver.

Troubleshooting
Screwpost is difficult to fasten
Ensure the holes in your materials are clean and appropriately sized. A slight reaming of the hole might be necessary. Avoid forcing the screw.
Fastener feels loose after tightening
Check that the screw post and cap are fully engaged. Ensure you are using a screwdriver that fits the slot properly to achieve maximum torque. Verify material thickness is within optimal range.
Screw cap won't engage with post
Confirm that the post is inserted correctly and not cross-threaded. Ensure no debris is obstructing the threads of either the post or the cap.
