A D-ring is an item of hardware, usually a metal tie-down ring shaped like a capital letter D, that is used mainly as a lashing or attachment point. It may be fixed to the end of a leather or fabric strap, secured to a surface with a metal or fabric strap, or made with a body that can be welded to steel. Ideally a D-ring swings freely once it is secured. D-rings differ in material, shape, weight, finish and rated load capacity, and some are made of plastic for uses such as strap fixtures on hiking equipment.
