C7 Hog Ring Plier

Quality tool, heavier and better crafted than the cheaper options. Will last forever...if I don't lose it...the red handles are helpful for when these are dropped on the ground while mending fence, which is inevitable.

Best pliers I have bought. worked great on my traps !

Was using a cheaper crimping plier made of some cast metal of some sort, after about 100 crimps it started slipping and not making effective crimps. I ordered and received the C7 hog ring plier and made 100's of crimps on stainless steel hog rings (3/8" and 3/4") and not had 1 bad crimp. Very effective tool that is easy to use.

These work great. The spring holds the small hog ring in place and the small size makes it easy to use these with 1/4-inch hardware cloth. These are durable and likely to last a very long time.

The spring loaded grip is perfect for the building of cages. Quality has held up great so far!

There’s nothing I don’t like about these so I’ll move on to the important bits. The spring is handy and not too powerful so you’re not fighting the plier. I read some reviews of folks that plucked it off and cast it from them…NOT NECESSARY! It’s light and easily withdrawn once you clamp the staple. (‘Staple the staple?’). Having the plier held tight with a staple in it til you’re ready is a gem of an idea. I always need a third hand when fencing and that’s what the spring is! Down to brass tacks. You can easily wear out a set of cheap pliers in half a day of fencing so you want to get yourself a decent pair. THIS IS A DECENT PAIR! I went through about 3,000 staples in the first day and there is no visible wear in the jaw or the powder coat. If I was going to change anything I might widen the jaw just slightly to make mounting the individual staples just a bit faster…but it works great! If you haven’t hit the buy button by now you probably don’t even know what they are for! Well, buy one anyways! You’re going to find a use for it! After building fences I used it to put together rabbit cages on the corners where I couldn’t fit a wide clip staple. Two jobs…one tool. If you have a chicken coop or need to repair the mesh once in a while…BUY THE PLIERS (but don’t forget your staples! You’ll need 10,000 or so once you get the hang of it!
