What are "hog ring pliers"?
Hog ring pliers are a type of tool designed for fastening metal rings, known as hog rings, around materials like wire, mesh, or fabric. These pliers feature a special jaw that holds the hog ring in place, allowing it to be easily squeezed around the material to secure it. Hog ring pliers are commonly used in tasks such as upholstery, fencing, and agricultural work, where metal rings are needed to fasten or attach materials securely. They are designed for strength and precision, making them ideal for heavy-duty applications.
