Standard Plastic D-Rings: Lightweight & Reliable
Our classic Plastic D-Rings are the go-to choice for countless sewn products. Made from tough acetal or high-performance polymers, these plastic D-rings provide excellent tensile strength while staying lightweight and corrosion-free.
Common Uses:
- Backpacks and carry straps
- Pet collars and leashes
- Light-duty webbing attachments
- Outdoor gear and apparel
Available in multiple sizes and profiles, they pair perfectly with nylon, polypropylene, and polyester webbing.
Snap Hook Loop: A Secure Attachment for Straps and Gear
For applications that require fast on-and-off capability, the Snap Hook Loop offers a practical solution. Its open-loop design works with snap hooks, clips, and plastic hardware that need a stable, molded anchor point.
Ideal For:
- Modular gear systems
- Pet products
- Travel accessories
- Lightweight tactical applications
The smooth internal curve ensures snag-free performance when integrating with strap systems.
Heavy Duty D-Rings: When Extra Strength Matters
For industrial or high-stress applications, our Heavy Duty Plastic D-Rings provide increased rigidity and pull strength thanks to reinforced structural design. They maintain flexibility without deformation, even under repeated load cycles.
Great For:
- Large bags and packs
- Outdoor equipment
- Industrial strapping systems
- Load-bearing harness components (non-life-safety)
Their thicker cross-section prevents bending or warping, making them a reliable choice whenever strength is a priority.
Double Bar D-Rings: For Secure Webbing Adjustment
The Double Bar D-Ring combines the familiar shape of a D-ring with the extra control of a second bar. This design keeps webbing firmly anchored and helps prevent slippage, even under vibration or movement.
Applications Include:
- Adjustable straps
- Compression straps
- Bag closures
- Packs and harnesses
Product manufacturers love the affordability, consistent fit, light weight and smooth webbing movement.
Beastee Dee: Engineered for Cordage, Lacing & Tactical Gear
One of the most innovative components in our lineup, the Beastee Dee is designed specifically for cordage, shock cord, lacing systems, and gear loops. Its slimmer profile and rounded interior make it ideal for use where traditional webbing hardware may be too bulky.
Perfect For:
- Tactical gear and MOLLE systems
- Outdoor equipment
- Drawcords and paracord applications
- Lightweight packs and apparel
Despite its slim footprint, the Beastee Dee delivers impressive strength and exceptional wear resistance.
