Sex Bolt - how did it get its name?

[SC_Hoaty]

Are you really telling us that you have only used them on you BP/W?!?!!!

I needed one for my rifle sling, and knew they could easily be found at a tack shop, as they are used in bridles. Tractor Supply had them, just as I thought they would.

What are they called at a tack shop or tractor supply?

Chicago screws. Just like Chilly_Dipper said.


We used to use them in the pharmacy I worked in High School - bound Rx in books of 100. So I can see where some might call them Book Screws, as the "perfessor" (Henrik) said. However, in the horsey set, they are Chicago screws. (Although history may change that so the term would to refer to the Obama presidency!)

Do you mean like "better than sex" screws?

Just a new twist on the Chicago Screw. Maybe a left handed thread or something like that.


BTW - I never paid this much for sex screws.

They're like hex bolts, but sexier.
