DEWALT P7DW Hog Ring Pliers Kit: Ultimate Solution for Easy and Efficient Hog Ring Fastening Review

I wanted to love this product so bad. The fact that he could load the pig rings in rows instead of me loading each one by hand seemed so handy. But getting rings around the metal mesh (wire mesh) I wanted to splice for my chicken coop was difficult around the edges and literally impossible with even, overlapping seams. Also, these pliers don't close the rings the way I wanted, no matter how hard you squeeze them. The ends of the rings hardly converge. I ended up closing them all the way with…

Saves you all those pig bell headaches. Once you get the hang of it, you can do it very effectively. With this I can easily squeeze the ring 10x faster than with cheap pliers, which have to be loaded with rings manually. The difference in velocity is like the difference between a revolutionary muzzleloading military rifle (cheap tongs) and a semi-automatic rifle. with clip (this). Get them when you need to make a lot of calls. Great for fine mesh, cages and fences which is what I've used them…

I had to redo my wire mesh at the bottom of the deer fence as the previous wire mesh was rotten and rusty. The wire mesh is to prevent my small dogs and rodents from getting under the deer fence. After speaking to my installed deer fence they charged 1500 to redo the wire. So I bought these tools and some wire mesh and made it myself for less than half the price. The tool worked very well and basically connected the wire mesh to the deer fence. The only problem I had was that it wouldn't grip…

This tool did a great job connecting long lengths of fine mesh to create a squirrel barrier over my blackberry garden. However, special concerns don't give it 5 stars: - My kids want it too! It takes extra hand strength to get a firm grip and the 9-year-old had a tough time. This requires some effort. Sometimes it was difficult to curl the chicken in the right place. Staples do not compress fully. The hole is approximately 2mm no matter how hard you press. The supplied struts appear to be…

Had to return this item as it didn't match the railing I had to make at all. Doesn't work at all on beef slabs. Cannot poke 1/2 inch hardware in flat seams. How the tool works great, only the size of the ring diameter when closed is small, and the nose of the pliers is wide, so you can work limited, so I couldn't get it to work with the hardware fabric for our needs. I give it 3 stars because I think the description doesn't adequately capture the insignificance of the work that needs to be…

I used this to tie rows of chicken wire together to make my 20 foot x 30 bird garden to cover, we have several large hawks and owls in our area as well as other pests that love chickens and/or eggs for dinner. They worked like a charm. I was able to load the tongs and close the reachable area very quickly before moving the ladder to the next section, the rings this kit worked really well with. Each "bar" of rings was intact, no broken or unusable rings. They worked best for me when I had the…
