I was impressed at the quality and size of the split rings

I replaced them with these and problem solved! Bought these because all of the kitchen accessories I own, like measuring spoons, cups, etc, are all stainless steel

Good quality, though the rings do spring apart easily, so be careful not to stretch it much

They are strong and rust proof

We love to take our dogs to the beach but their collars kept rusting out from the salt water leaving a rust ring on their fur

husband loves everything stainless steel
