I've been using split rings to attach my homemade camera strap onto the lugs on my Canon 7D.

Yesterday, one of them "unwound" as I was pulling the camera around my body to take a shot. (Nothing fell since I was holding the camera.) Since they're playing a crucial role, I'd like to replace the random ones found around my house with some that are stronger.

Does anyone know where one can buy split-rings that are well built (but not too large to fit in the lugs)? Is there an easier solution in my situation that I'm not seeing?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Might try local locksmith/retail store?

Home depot etc?
