D-ring

D-ring

A D-ring is an item of hardware, usually a metal ring shaped like the letter "D". It may be used at the end of a leather or fabric strap, or may be secured to a surface with a metal or fabric strap. For light loading applications such as clothing and luggage, D-rings made of plastics such as nylon may be used, as they weigh less and are impervious to rust.

D-rings are manufactured by machines which bend a piece of wire into the distinctive D-shape. Some rings are welded during manufacture, others are not. Thought should be taken when you purchase the rings. Unwelded d-rings are not very strong and suitable for making belts to hold up pants but not a partner.
