We offer these precision made parts for repair purposes, but we do not sell them as standalone supplies. As a courtesy to our customers with broken chain segments, we price them well below our costs.  ***These are sold at our discretion. If it appears a purchase is made for making new rosaries, your order will be canceled and refunded. 
 
See sample photos. If your chain has broken, you can get your repair kit here. If you have any other issues with your rosary, or would like to mail it in for repair, please email support@ruggedrosaries.com. 

We recommend tweezers or eyeglasses screwdriver, or small pocket knife (Careful!) as a good tool to pry open the small connector rings so you can replace the chain. The connector rings are like a key ring, just small. 
 

Repair Kit includes 

  • Your choice of Replacement Chains
  • Extra Split Ring Connectors

 

 

Customers praised this repair kit for making rosary repairs quick and easy. Many said it "worked amazingly" and was "very easy to repair." The kit arrives fully assembled and ready to use. Customers appreciated the generous, low-cost replacement policy and fast shipping. One noted it can be "difficult without proper tools," and another suggested a YouTube tutorial would help.

Customer service was outstanding!

I was devastated when I reached into my pocket and felt my battle beads in two pieces. (You become attached to these.) To see the repair kit was a blessing and to see they offered the repair kit at a minimum fee, you felt like you were taking advantage of someone! Well done Rugged Rosaries! Great customer service! Thank you. My rosary has been repaired and it was very easy!

Very generous policy

My beloved Battle Beads Rosary is back in action thanks to Rugged Rosaries and their generous policy of providing repair kits.

My drop chain (the short chain with the Crucifix) got crushed on my pocket and was ready to break.

I received the replacement chain very quickly and in a few minutes had my rosary repaired.

Thank you for making this available.

Exactly what I exactly!

This was exactly what I needed! My old drop chain on my rosary had broken, so my rosary was without a crucifix for some time. The rest of my rosary was not from Rugged Rosaries, but the replacement was super easy and the transition from the drop chain to the rest of the rosary is seamless.

What a terrific benefit for you customers!

I am overjoyed on discovering you have repair parts for your rosaries. I had been using my WW1 rosary for years when the cable broke at the ring in the end of the five decades. It’s been sitting its pouch now for a couple of years and now I discover you will replace the chain. I am just readying to go on pilgrimage and am delighted I will be carrying my Rugged Rosary with me. Btw, it was relatively easy to install my new chain.

Easy Repairs

In searching for any way to repair a "combat rosary", I found this wonderful company and was able to obtain the necessary item (replacement 5 decades). The replacement took only a couple minutes. I was advised to have the replacement blessed by a priest, even though the Crucifix and Center piece and St. Benedict medal are still original. Thank you again!

Quality is top notch! Much better than a competitor version I used to have. The other company wouldn’t honor their warranty. I’m so thankful Rugged Rosaries helped me out!

I have a combat rosary which I have been carrying everyday for the past few years. It unfortunately broke but this replacement part made it as good as new! It's great that Rugged Rosaries offers these parts.

Great Product and Support

I had a need for a stainless steel chain over brass, and RR made it super easy to make it happen with this kit. I would follow their recommendation of using a tool to reattach medals and crucifixes to the connector rings.

I've taken to wearing my one-decade rosary every day since I received it. It's handled a lot of wear and tear from my job, but it's a comfort to have on me whenever I need it. The repair kit was easy to use. No muss, no fuss and back to life. Couldn't ask for better service or a better product.

Thank you for the drop chain. I was able to take my crucifix off the old drop chain and reattach it to the rosary. My 3rd class relic is whole again.

They come through

My rosary is 2 years old and has broken 2x. They have repaired it (or sent parts so I could repair it) both times .. I am disappointed it broke in the first place 2x. But also appreciate their willingness to fix it cheaply.

Repair Kit

I've been searching for a way to repair my combat rosary for over a year now. Bead chain pliers are very expensive so when I found this repair kit I immediately ordered it. It came quickly and I was able to repair my rosary within minutes. Thanks very much Rugged Rosaries for this item.

How does this work?

I seems simple enough to fix the break, but the repair kit needs a short YouTube video about using the repair kit
I ended up ordering some dog tag, ball snap closing tabs. I installed one at the break and it was fixed. I would still like to know how to use the Rugged Rosary kit.

WWI Battle Beads Repair Kit

I was absolutely amazed at the price of the kits and that they were fully assembled and ready to go when they showed up at my door. In truth, I expected a bag full of random bits and pieces that I would have to struggle to assemble, but this was amazing. They really take good care of their people and I love that. 😁
