A bit random, I've always just accumalated keyrings but I need a new one or two.
Was looking at something like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Merriway-BH02113-Spring-Nickel-Keyring/dp/B00TQWSU4Q/ref=sr_1_11?crid=1Y1GQ9MX2JJBS&keywords=keyring&qid=1641071727&sprefix=keyring%2Caps%2C99&sr=8-11 but 3 quid seems a bit spendy for one, equally I dont need a pack of 100 either?!

Where do people actualy buy keyrings from?

Why "stiff" particularly?

Split-ring keyrings are given away by all sorts of people, it’s not unusual to have cars come in to work with two or three of the damn things, I’ve aquired loads over the years. Those steel wire ones with the screw ends are ok, but the ends can unscrew, and I’ve had one fray and break at the end. There are some neat carabiner ones you can get, in all sorts of materials, like aluminium, titanium, stainless steel… I’ve got one that came with an AirTag case that’s very good, it’s strong and has no sharp bits, but you’re going to need split-rings on anything that goes on it. You can probably buy a bag of mixed size steel split-rings on eBay for peanuts.

These people seem to do quite a range:

If budget isn't an issue:

I don't have the ring but I have other orbitkey stuff and the quality is very good (as you would hope for the price!)

but 3 quid seems a bit spendy for one,

£3.00 for twenty though seems like a bargain.

If you only need one it's still £3 for one.

I've a few in the attic, bought 50 of them when clearing out my dad's as he had random keys all over the place and I wanted to bunch them together.

More than happy to put some in the post for you if you like.

What you need is a keyring draw. Then just pick the size you want.

If you do want heavier duty ones then you can buy thicker stainless steel ones from chandlers and dive shops.
