I got some new suspension clips (BLF threads 1 and 2) and wanted some attachment split rings. Rather than pay $10 for 100 on amazon, I decided to put in a bulk order directly from the manufacturer, Worth Company, and spread the savings on BLF. They are a nice company to work with, by the way, if you ever need large orders.
From their website:
X2 Oval Power Rings are 50% stronger than similar fine sized round split rings, making them the strongest ring available anywhere. Their unique oval design is also self-centering to keep the “gap” at the side.
These rings are made from a unique magnesium alloy, which is stronger than stainless steel, and they are finished with military-grade zinc plating for protection against corrosion.
Length:.315 in / 8 mm
Width:.158 in / 4 mm
Thickness:.059 in / 1.50 mm
Wire Diameter:0.028 in
Material and Finish: Zinc-Plated Steel
Here are the sale terms:
Minimum order quantity (MOQ): 10
I plan on just taping these to some paper or an index card and putting them in a stamped envelope with no guarantees about delivery.
If you want insurance or international shipping or something, we can work it out if you want to pay for the added features.
I bought 500 for around 5 cents each after shipping, and will update the available inventory in post 1.
Prices (USD): 0.05 per ring + 0.50 to cover a CONUS stamp (probably up to 150 rings) + 1.00 to cover materials (envelope, bewildered wife wondering why I am counting so many tiny split rings, etc.) and PP fees.
Payment: Paypal with info via PM. Open to BLF members who joined prior to February 28, 2015.
Some example orders
10 rings: 0.50+1.50s&h = 2.00
20 rings: 1+1.50s&h = 2.50
30 rings: 1.50+1.50s&h = 3.00
50 rings: 2.50+1.50s&h = 4.00
100 rings: 5+1.50s&h = 6.50
