Strap rings, where to find them?

EdColorado · Oct 4, 2010

Not sure what the real name for them is but I need a few pairs of the little triangle shaped split rings that are used on pretty much everything to mount a camera strap to a body. Where the heck does one find these? I did some searching on KEH but don't know the correct name and couldn't find anything. Not sure they would have them anyhow but somewhere out there I expect there's a bunch of them sitting around with nothing to do. Anyone know where to find these things?

I use small diameter key rings. It's not as good a fit as the triangle rings but works and is free because I take the rings out of my wife's box of miscellaneous bits and pieces that she keeps in a kitchen drawer.

If you go to Michaels or another craft store, you can buy a box of about 20 circular rings like small key rings. They should be in the jewelry section. They're obviously not shaped the same, but they work just as well & they're cheap.

I have some new old stock camera next strap rings, triangular shape. How many do you need? Buck a piece.

I just bought round ones at the hardware store for $0.19 each in the key section.

Thanks all for the replies! Not sure why I didn't think of the hardware store...simple and cheap. Thanks again!

fishing tackle shop will have them sized from minnows to sharks by breaking strain.

If you are still in search of some rings, let me know your address and I'll toss a couple round ones in the mail for free. I buy them by the hundreds, for the camera straps I make.

I bought a few packs on ebay but the sellers all sent me the thin type which sucks.

My local Aubuchon hardware sell half inch split rings, not triangular but circular. I don't use the triangular ones because they always seem to get cocked; also I believe they wear the straplugs faster.
