Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

The HILLMAN Aluminum Silver Bands/Caps Ball Chain Connector is a compact, dependable way to finish ball chain projects. Made from lightweight aluminum and finished in a bright silver tone, this connector securely caps the end of a ball chain to create clean keys, tags, or jewelry components.

What makes it unique

  • Key Ring Style: Bands/Caps design — a simple, reliable end-cap that locks onto ball chain ends for a tidy, professional look
  • Material and finish: Aluminum construction delivers corrosion resistance and a lightweight feel without sacrificing strength
  • Packaging details: Carded packaging with 1 piece per card, making inventory simple and display straightforward
  • Color: Silver matches most hardware and accessories for a seamless appearance
  • Product type: Ball Chain Connector that integrates with standard ball chains used in key rings, tags, lanyards, and decorative projects

Ideal for DIY enthusiasts and everyday repairs, this Hillman connector is perfect for finishing a key ring, replacing a worn end on a badge holder, or creating a lightweight decorative pull for bags or zippers. Its slim profile minimizes bulk while keeping the chain secure, so your items stay attached during daily use.

Usage tips:

  • Insert the ball chain ends into the connector and secure. The bands/caps design provides a snug hold that's easy to assemble and remove if needed.
  • Pair with a split ring or charm to customize a functional key ring or tag set.
  • Keep a spare on hand for quick repairs or project prototyping.

Care and maintenance: Wipe with a soft cloth to remove oils and fingerprints. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the aluminum finish. Store in a dry place to prevent oxidation over time.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
