They certainly are the weakest link in the system. OTOH maybe I shouldn't say that without seeing the other ends of the guys. <:-)) I guess I'm a bit puzzled as to why put those rings in there in the

Yes I use them for key rings, I think there is a warning about them not being actually used for climbing, How would you like to hook your belt around that tower and lean back and look at those?! The

Why worry about little things like that when you have a key chain ring holding up the tower! They may not be "key chain rings". When I worked @ Lowe's we sold solid steel rings (welded together) that

Good point Bill, very true, if they had dropped it on those key chains, it would have been a wrap. I was looking at all the other pics and there was a comment that "no expense was spared in the const

In the description for one of the earlier pictures, it states no expense was spared for the tower construction. I would beg to differ. Those rings are scary. Not to mention that 12 element LP is prob

those are "welded steel rings".. as I recall, the 1/4" diameter ones (the diameter of the rod they're made of) have a load rating of few hundred pounds. Yes, they'll deform under load, but what you'r

I'd be very worried that they would crack as they deform to an oval shape under load. I'll bet that's what you'd see if you put one in a vice and squished it. The areas either side of the weld are li

No, but the link above it is and the largest I've seen at Lowe's was 1200# (they may carry larger). They have a manufacturer's or distributor's tag that lists the permissible working load. I use them
