Unlike shells with a small pilot hole for an earring hook, we hand-cut the base fully open — turning the casing into a true pass-through tube. Every sharp edge is deburred and hand-filed smooth on both openings, so paracord, leather cord, or wire threads through cleanly with nothing to snag or fray. Available in packs of 5, 10, or 15.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePopular Uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eZipper Pulls:\u003c\/strong\u003e jackets, backpacks, purses, and boots.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEDC \u0026amp; Knife Lanyards:\u003c\/strong\u003e a rugged, genuine-brass accent for everyday carry gear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKeychains \u0026amp; Bag Tags:\u003c\/strong\u003e thread with paracord or leather cord for a durable, industrial look.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNecklaces \u0026amp; Purse Charms:\u003c\/strong\u003e a lightweight pendant with real character.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCeiling Fan \u0026amp; Lamp Pull Cords:\u003c\/strong\u003e a unique upgrade over a plain plastic pull chain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eParacord Bracelet Accent Bead:\u003c\/strong\u003e add it into a woven paracord bracelet design.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"summary__title\"\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"accordion__title\"\u003eQuick Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003csvg class=\"icon-caret\" viewbox=\"0 0 10 6\" style=\"width: 10px; height: 6px; align-self: center;\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M1 1L5 5L9 1\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" fill=\"none\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion__content rte\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCaliber:\u003c\/strong\u003e .223 Remington\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 39.1mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpening (neck end):\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.7mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpening (cut end):\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.0mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.85g each (lightweight)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-cut, deburred, and filed smooth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Varies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"summary__title\"\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"accordion__title\"\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003csvg class=\"icon-caret\" viewbox=\"0 0 10 6\" style=\"width: 10px; height: 6px; align-self: center;\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M1 1L5 5L9 1\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" fill=\"none\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion__content rte\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eQ: Is this drilled or cut?
