A small part that solves a common problem: this 5/16" aluminum open ball slips over the end ball of #8 and #10 beaded chain and crimps shut to lock it in place. Use it as a stop ball so a pull chain can't slip back through its guide, as a termination cap on fixture suspensions and pull chains, or to permanently join two lengths of beaded chain. The lightweight aluminum body closes cleanly with a pair of combination pliers and holds securely once crimped.
