Okones 10mm Dia Solid Brass Studs Feet Bottom Screwback Leathercraft Rivet Bullet Spikes Spots Pack of 20 BRA0028 (Top:2/5'')

These spikes are indeed solid brass, not white metal with a junky coating, and they are machined perfectly. So are the backing screws. They are very tough, weigh a bit more and don't scratch up easily. These are the good ones, which is why they're a bit more expensive. If this aspect doesn't matter to you, I would suggest you just go with the cheaper ones, as you can get gold chrome or brass plated spikes for less. Also, since these are raw brass, they tend to get a less shiny patina or antique effect over time. You can always shine them up again with Brasso, or just appreciate the natural patina. The screws give room for different thicknesses of leather and a variety of projects. Just a tip, after I have the pattern set and all the holes punched, I put a drop of super glue (or LocTite) on the backing threads right before I screw them down, because they can tend to unscrew themselves over time. Especially if they're on a motorcycle jacket or wristband where they're getting jostled around a lot. I've lost a few spikes over the years that way. Although just be prepared that you're never going to get them off again if you change your mind. If you're planning on using these on thinner cloth, note that they are a little heavier than the cheaper spikes and might sag a bit.

Several of the "bolt" ends were unthreaded leaving me with threaded rounded studs I cannot use. Amazon won't take a partial return and I have a project underway that I need to move forward on, but I'm very disappointed at the quality control of the manufacturer if they can allow unthreaded parts to pass as threaded parts.A 15% failure rate is abysmal performance.If they aren't aware of that failure rate, they're not looking.If they are aware of it and can't fix it in the production line, throwing some spares in to cover their flaws would be a nice fix, but they didn't do that.I have (effectively) 17 of the 20 I ordered. I needed 20 (two projects that need ten studs each).I'll likely look elsewhere for whatever replacements I decide on.

Once mine finally arrived, after dropping off UPS tracking, these proved to be exactly as advertised. I suggest buying one more package than you think you need, because one of the cones I received was drilled slightly too deep and the tip snapped off at some point between being produced and making it to my door. This isn't strictly a bad thing, since now I can glue a rhinestone or some other decoration in there once it's mounted, but if you're planning on an exact number for design consistency? Err on the side of caution.

It's hard finding punk-style spikes that are shorter than they are wide (most are long) that are also made of actual brass, and not plated metal. These pass the magnet test. They are nice and sleek without sticking too far out, great for accessories like collars, chokers, and bracelets. Shipping from China took a little while, but it arrived with no issues: double bagged with all 30 pairs of spikes and screws accounted for. I'm pleased enough that I may order more in the future, once I use the ones I've got.

Love these. Bought these for crafting armor. Don't know what I'm going to do with them exactly, but they are beautiful, durable and really well made. Easy to reposition. Better than rivets!

I loved these screw Backs, it helped me return my beautiful Purse back to normal. I always felt naked with that piece missing from the bottom of my purse. But thanks to these it's perfect again.

Great looking solid brass product ideal for many craft ideas. Arrived on time and in good condition . I will be buying these again.

Very good quality. Like them
