Hog Ring Pliers Kit (200 Pack of 3/4" Galvanized Steel Hog Rings Included) Perfect for Furniture Upholstery, Auto Upholstery, Meat & Sausage Casings

I order TONS of stuff on Amazon and despite most of it being perfectly fine, unless it’s poor quality, I RARELY post a review!When I ordered these Hog Ring pliers, I did so because the price was right. I did not expect them to be the best quality or construction - but I’m REALLY IMPRESSED with this product!I’m a stay home mom with very petite hands and I expected this tool would be difficult to use at best - but it was so INCREDIBLY EASY to use, I decided to post a quick review!They arrived in a padded envelope as usual but they were also nicely packaged in an easy-to-open box with the hog rings neatly bagged in a small dip style bag.The tool has green handle with an ADDITIONAL padded handle cover made out of a firm-but-squishy black foam rubber padding!This makes the tool look REALLY NICE and gives you added comfort when using it! I use tools for small DIY projects - but I’m not very strong - so I was VERY SURPRISED when I discovered I could close these hog rings with only 1 hand!I consider this tool to be high quality with a strong “spring-back” action making it easy to insert each ring and use!The metal portion of the tool is nice, clean and shiny with no rust, scratches, slimy oils or sticky grease. The packaging, tool and hog rings are free of any strange chemical smells (that I see some customers complain about for various products).I know that may seem like an odd thing to say but most women who order tools or other products online know what I’m talking about and find those heavy smells to be very offensive.At the moment, I highly recommend this product!I closed 3 hog rings so far just to try it out but I’ll use it on my project and edit this review if anything changes.It’s not very often I receive a product that far exceeds my expectations. For this reason, I felt a review was deserving.DISCLAIMER: UNLIKE OTHER CUSTOMER DISCLAIMERS, TO DATE, I AM NOT AN AFFILIATE OF ANY KIND - FOR ANY PRODUCT OR COMPANY.FINDING GOOD, HONEST REVIEWS IS NEVER EASY.ON THE RARE OCCASION I DO LEAVE A REVIEW ONLINE, I USE THE SAME USERNAME ACROSS ALL PLATFORMS TO MAKE MY REVIEWS EASY TO FIND.

Tool was easy to use and held up over hundreds of clamps, convenient that it came with some hog rings. Price is great.

I haven't used hog ring pliers since I replaced the interior on a 1966 Mustang...but it doesn't seem the technology has changed. This time around, I needed to get at the springs under a sofa to reinforce them where they'd gotten bent out of shape....which meant I needed to pull some upholstery off. All went well and then I used these pliers and the included hog rings to put everything back together.The upside: worked well, the rings were a good size for upholstery projects, and there were no problems with the pliersThe downside: none except maybe the fact that I had to load the rings one by one--that's a little bit of a pain and I guess some pliers have an autoloader. But for a small project, it was no big deal.

I bought this item directly for a specific use that I probably will not have to do again, but at the end of the day isn't that what most of us do. In this case I just need the pliers to do some upholstery work and then probably will not use again anytime soon but they serve the purpose. If I used them everyday all day long maybe it would make sense to spend some more money and one with a loader but since I am not these are just perfect and they came with rings which means I didn't have to make an additional purchase.

I bought this to re-upholster a seat in my 2002 Ford 250. I had a hard time controlling the rings as they kept popping out of the pliers. After looking closely, I realized the groove in the plier jaw was too narrow for the width of the supplied hog rings. I took a handful out to my anvil (I am an amateur blacksmith) and slightly flattened the two sides of the ring. They worked well after that. Maybe I'll take a dremel to the pliers' jaws, but I probably won't. I don't need it that often or that much.

I thought these were very easy to use, and the clips were great. When we initially built our fence we had thicker clamps and they are better than the initial clamps that we used.I read a lot of the reviews that said that they fell apart as soon as they were taken out of the package and used once or twice, this was not the case for me. If they do fall apart I will update this review but as for now they were great for what I needed them for!

I found nothing to dislike about the pliers or the rings. I used the kit to re-install new leather seats in my fishing rig, cause it makes the fish bite better. Okay I missed at least twice, but all the rest worked perfectly.I remember using a set of pliers back in the day that wore my hand out and didn't hold the ring like this kit, so I'm really glad that I tried these new perfect holders, what a difference five decades can make.Old farm boy and I highly recommend this hog ring kit.
