Don't see how the metal ring would break before a zip tie.

Default Little metal ring of mine is stainless steel and doesn't break

Sometimes I think I could screw up a wet dream. This post was suppose to show ya'll one of my new products.

I was suppose to say this is the best way to hang a bell and ya'll were suppose to think... hey.. at least he sponsors our site... so we will let him think so....

I use stainless steel 14 Ga 304 stainless steel in the mount and a 11 stainless steel ring. The ring will not break has over 300lb pull strength. And that would only stretch it.

The cheaper ones that come with the bell are another story.
