I knocked up a little ring thingy to go on my new torch
I'm not happy with it,

Any one have any bright ideas please?

NS,
That's a question

Ummmm I want to add a lanyard or keyring
So I can hang it from a belt or something
But still lets it slid in to and out of a pocket/sheath
and is comfortable
I think that's what I want, Thanks

Paul,

The ring thingy looks OK , If it were me I would go with a much smaller split ring , and a paracord lanyard of some description .

Get a quick attachment and swivel from fishing supply, much better suited.

A smaller split ring ( stainless , from a salsmurfer fishing supplier ) and a stainless "McGizmo style clip . You could make yourself a poor man's dangler outa an old Ti Spork . I got my Dangler by way of a very satisfactory trade with Gadget Guy . The lanyard that goes around the left palm allows good retention and quick access when walking on the wild side . Ie: service calls on some scummy council estates .Can very quickly transition into a hammer fist strike to the offending face plate .

Thanks Guys

Looks like I will have to visit a fishing shop

Next question,
Is there anywhere that sells a pack of assorted sized split rings
I have a few but some are cheap rubbish

Shops that cater to sea fishing would have a better assortment of sizes .

Trouble is I'm about as far away from the coast as you can possibly get in the UK

I better look online then

They're very handy, and work well for 1xAA or 1xCR123 size lights. I use one frequently for Quark MiNis.

I bypass JSB and purchase them direct from the manufacturer here: http://www.tecaccessories.com/products/product.php?II=27

something from the cutlery draw first to try it out

Bottom one is a nice Ti job I got from John

Top one is my Ikea teaspoon special

Does the job but I know which I prefer

You could try to mod a Ti Spork - they aren'y too horribly expensive . If you go anywhere near a beltgrinder with Ti , wear a respirator . Flaming it can be done with a plumbers torch . Lot cheaper than a Monroe Dangler ( which are very nice indeed ) .
