Is the ring itself solid metal or hollow?

I have no idea. I think hollow. I have had 2 of these in a very humid bathroom for 3 1/2 years and they look the same as the day I got them. They are good quality and work like they are suppose too.

I can't really tell. The matching towel bar is hollow, so I can assume that the probability is that the ring is hollow, too. The ring ends are inside the joint, so I cannot see them to be sure. All I can say is that the Moen towel bar and ring set that I bought are attractive and functional.

The ring is hollow. Overall, it's a good looking unit. I think a solid ring would be great, but they would no doubt be a lot more expensive than this unit.

It is hollow and Axel our German Shepherd has put small punctures in it and so far its still the same. I have to say it's very sturdy. We were leary about it also and are very satisfied

3 metal rings, middle part of the sleeves a really thin polypropylene. ..All in all I would buy it again.

It is tin plated steel. Someone in an early post had complained that they had rusted on them. This has not been a problem for me. Just make sure to hand dry the rings after washing. Hope this helps.

I can't tell if it's solid or hollow but the fact is that it is very sturdy -- has been installed in the bathroom my husband uses who is 170 lbs and uses it to pull himself up from the toilet. Just make sure you install it properly -- screwed on the two by fours and not on just sheetrock.

It is hollow but sturdy enough if you don't exceed the bench's maximum capacity. I haven't had any problems with it.

Solid metal all the way through. The metal is pretty solid and the neck doesn't seem very maneuverable.

I cannot speak scientifically about the materials in the fob, but if I had to guess, the hub is solid brushed stainless steel (it has a bit of heft) with the track where the rings attach being made of chromium steel. Rings are nothing special, spring steel. The build quality is excellent, I've had mine for 5 years with no problems at all. Easily the best keyholder I've owned and perhaps the best made.

I believe this is made of an alloy. It is very strong, but the whole key ring doesn't weigh as much as steel.

Great question. I originally had the same question. To answer your question. It is metal.

The sword is completely metal, and the handle feels completely solid. If it's hollow, it's a thick cylinder, but either way, it's very sturdy.

So sorry for the late delay. The ring works great and it sure does feel like metal. I've tapped it with my fingernail and it does feel metal-like, but I didn't have a magnet to verify it.

They are hollow but are really strong. They are made out of hard plastic, very durable.

It's not a ring, it's solid, like a cap that fits under the metal cap. It is removable, pretty easily. As to whether you can find a replacement, I don't know. You'll have to contact the manufacturer.

If there is, it's not visible. There are no metal rings, but something stiff beneath the cardboard/paper interior is holding it together.

Sorry, haven't weighed it, but it has some heft/weight. It' not plastic and I don't think that it's hollow.

I do not know what the metal is, but I know that it is very sturdy. It feels solid and not hollow because there is no way that my husband nor I can bend it. We had it outside all winter in the snow and there is no sign of rust so I am pleased about that. It also seems to be able to withstand a lot of wind, which we had this winter. I highly recommend it.
