Okay, maybe it's just me, but I find it really difficult to grip the 1-inch top hanging ring in order to move and hang up a wind chime.  I know you're not supposed to hold a chime by the strings, but if the chime is heavy (hellooo 50-inch Corinthian Bells chime) for the one finger that's hooked in that ring, what do you do?

We've discovered these great made-in-US carabiners, or D-rings, that work perfectly for gripping and hanging chimes. And good news!  They now come in several great colors: Glossy Black, Matte Black, Coyote Tan and Field Green. They're a perfect and oh-so-helpful accent for wind chimes!
