HOG RING PLIER These pliers are made from steel, which makes them extremely durable and long-lasting. Handles are soft cushioned and coated with a non-Slip material, allowing you to work in any environment. The hog ring plier is spring-loaded to secure hog rings in jaws, which makes the rings not easy to drop off from the jaw and super easy to complete the installation even with a single hand. It can be used in upholstery, bungee or shock cords, netting, cages, bagging, traps, sausage casing, meat bags, and fencing. Hog rings are commonly used in auto upholstery, to fasten seat covers down to the cushion. Hog ring pliers have small notches to hold hog rings in place, so they are much easier to use than needle-nose pliers. This set of pliers has cushioned non-slip red grips to protect your hands during the installation of your cover.
