What's the best source for quality rings and lanyards?

[tony22]

These would be for my AA and AAA lights. Stainless steel preferred.

Lighthound.com

they have a good selection of lanyard supplies and accessories, including split rings, lobster claws, etc., including McGizmo stuff.

Thanks BOwz3r. That's just where I went. Their selection is great! Bought a bunch of stuff including AW RCR123s.

I bought a bunch of rings and stuff. In looking for lanyard type accessories I couldn't find quite what I was looking for. I got this

http://www.lighthound.com/LanyardQuick-Detach-String-Connector_p_753.html

which seems to work okay, but I'm a little uncomfortable with the quick release. It's not like it's poorly made, not a bit. But I still feel like I could accidentally release it, sending my EDC flying toward the concrete.

What I was hoping to find was something like this

http://www.lanyardsupply.com/lanyards/loop/1L/1-2-3-loop-steel-wire-leashes.htm

the 2-loop model, but only about 3-4" long. Anybody see such a thing in that length?

Would a S-biner work?

I don't think so. Too bulky. When I'm wearing business clothes the keys are already taking up enough space. I thought a nice strong, thin 2-loop type thingie from my key ring to my EDC would be a slick way to go.

On that page they say any custom size welcome, so maybe ask them to make one exactly how you want it ?

I did look at that. I didn't call, but based on what I saw online it looked like the minimum order was 50 pieces. :sigh:

I'll be receiving all kinds of lanyard accessories over the next few weeks/months. Keep an eye glued to my site. I may start carrying paracord if the lanyard bit business takes off.
