Source for strong split rings?

Re: Source for strong split rings?

Local fishing bait shop. Some of the lures have small diameter rings made to be quite strong. Also anywhere that makes keys normally has an assortment of different sized rings.

However, unless you put some heat shrink on there, you'll always risk it opening up because of the lever action it has when twisted.

If I were you, I would look into a better way of doing that. That carabiner is way overkill, I have one on my key ring.
