The 9/16" ring choker functions much like a cat choker, and is a bit beefier than the 1/2" ring choker we offer. That said, anywhere you can use a 1/2" ring choker, you can use a 9/16" ring choker. So if you want extra heft and strength, go for the larger 9/16" size. The obvious difference between ring chokers and cat chokers is that ring chokers have a large, forged round ring in the eye of the choker. This serves as the primary connection point for the choker, and is sometimes preferred by professional loggers. That said, there's nothing keeping the novice user from using a ring choker, apart from the increased cost and additional handling weight. The forged rings are very durable, and they sit inside of a thimbled eye on the choker. The result is that the eye of the choker is reinforced, stronger than usual, and no longer a common wear point.
