Recommendations for durable chain whips

[cbutterworth]

My 14 year old 2nd degree son has been working with chain whips for a couple of years. However, we have noticed that the chain whips all tend to have a weak point where the chain joins the handle. His first pair were like these Steel Chain Whip

The weakness derives from the unwelded A-shaped link that connects the chain to the handle. We even purchased more expensive ones (around $80 a pair), but they have suffered from the same problem.

can anyone recommend a pair of chain whips that have welded links connecting the chains to the handles?

Thank-you in advance.

I bet there's a muffler shop near you that has a welder...

And it would be quiet too!

Hardware store. A chain and a d ring.

I have considered that. However, the design of the handle means that the link connecting chain to handle can‘t go all the way through the handle.
