Chicago screws

[jailersmith]

Lock opening key sets like warded padlock picks or auto jigglers fit in my pick case better if I use a Chicago screw instead of a key ring.

today I learned what a Chicago Screw is..

Ahh. Had not heard the term Chicago Screw for those. Learned those as sex nuts or end nuts. Thought a Chicago Screw was what the people here are getting after the last election.

LOL! I have been using the key ring and it does take up to much space. Will have to try this, thanks!

Gweins2001,-i believe "sex nuts" are something completely different.

...i learned those are called female bolts.

...does anybody know why. They are called a chicago screw.

Oh and thank you to jailersmith for posting this tip.

The true sex nuts are on the rekeyable American and Master padlocks, along with others. Yes, they have little 'wings' on the side to keep them from spinning when the screw is installed.
